Himachal crisis over? Disqualified Congress MLAs to move High Court
State intelligence sources told india Herald that congress leader vikramaditya Singh, who resigned as a himachal pradesh minister and expressed dissatisfaction within the party, visited chandigarh and met with the six rebel MLAs who were disqualified for voting for the bjp in the rajya sabha election.
On Thursday, the dissident MLAs who employed cross-voting to lead congress candidate abhishek Manu Singhvi to an unexpected loss were declared ineligible. They now want to file a challenge to their disqualification with the High Court. This occurred despite the fact that state congress chief and mother of vikramaditya Singh, Pratibha Singh, told india Herald in an exclusive interview that it is "too early" to declare the crisis over. Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, the chief minister of himachal pradesh, has managed to contain the situation for the time being.
