Himachal Pradesh: BJP awaits HC's decision before next political move amidst disqualification drama

Posted on:
Key Points

BJP will wait to see if the Himachal Pradesh High Court will stay disqualification of six Congress MLAs before making its next political move in HP..

The Congress government which had a comfortable majority was destabilised after six 'rebel MLAs' and three Independent legislators who supported the government switched sides during the recent Rajya Sabha polls...

Speaker Kuldeep Singh Pathania disqualified the six rebel Congress MLAs on Thursday for not participating in the assembly proceedings as per party whip when the state budget was passed..

BJP believes that it would be meaningless to bring a no-confidence motion before a HC decision on stay as the government has a majority after disqualification of the six MLAs..

BJP will demand the governor to order the government to undertake a floor test if the MLAs manage to get a stay on the operation of the Speaker's disqualification order..
