Himachal Congress saw poll loss, rebellion and 'instability' in 24 hours. Can CM Sukhu save his govt?

Live Mint  

The Himachal Pradesh Congress found itself in trouble after minister Vikramaditya Singh resigned from his post. In less than 24 hours, the Congress suffered a dramatic loss in the Himachal Pradesh Rajya Sabha elections and a state minister's resignation sparked speculation about the state government's "instability". {{^adFree}} {{/adFree}} The fact that six Congress MLAs had cross-voted for the Bharatiya Janata Party in the Rajya Sabha elections on Tuesday raised concerns for the Congress-ruled Himachal Pradesh government. Himachal Pradesh's leader of the Opposition Jairam Thakur claimed that the Congress did not have a majority to pass the budget, "so they suspended 15 BJP MLAs without any reason". Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu also said that one of the six MLAs who had voted for the BJP candidate in the Rajya Sabha polls asked “to forgive him as he has betrayed the party.People of the state will give them an answer."
