Fear of 'Operation Lotus' in Himachal, nine MLAs in Haryana

Shimla: Sukhu government is in danger due to cross voting of nine MLAs in the election of Rajya Sabha seat in Himachal Pradesh. Video of 9 MLAs including 6 from Congress reaching Haryana has surfaced. The political atmosphere in Himachal remained heated throughout the day regarding cross voting. On the other hand, Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu has accused BJP of kidnapping some party MLAs. Sukhu claimed that the MLAs were taken to Panchkula by the CRPF force.

Even before the election results came on Tuesday, there is political turmoil on a Rajya Sabha seat in Himachal Pradesh. Leaders of the ruling party and the opposition are verbally attacking each other. Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu has accused BJP of kidnapping his MLAs. He said in the Assembly premises that some of his MLAs have been taken to Haryana with the help of CRPF. We also got footage of the bus carrying them.

The Chief Minister said that five-six of our MLAs have been taken away by CRPF and Haryana Police. BJP is doing all this. The relatives of the MLAs are contacting them. In democracy there are both parties and opposition, but in Himachal Pradesh the opposition has resorted to hooliganism. The people of Himachal will never accept these taxes of the opposition. In the middle of counting, opposition leaders came to the counting hall and threatened the counting officials. This environment is not good for democracy.

Earlier, after voting for Congress candidate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu asked the MLAs to vote according to the ideology of the party. We have 40 MLAs in the assembly. If MLAs are not bought then we will get all the votes. On the other hand, Leader of Opposition Jairam Thakur said that voting is the democratic right of the MLAs. It is not necessary for a candidate to be elected unopposed. As soon as the statements of the Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition came out, speculations about cross voting in Himachal intensified.

After the results were declared in Himachal Pradesh, BJP claimed that the Sukku government has been reduced to minority. Jairam Thakur said that the budget will be presented tomorrow. We will meet the Governor after discussing the budget. The Congress currently has 40 members in the 68-member Himachal Assembly, while the BJP has 25 members and three independent MLAs support the Congress. But after the Rajya Sabha elections held on Tuesday, it is being claimed that BJP has taken 6 Congress and three independent MLAs to Panchkula, due to which the number of Congress and BJP members in the Assembly can be 34-34, while no party can needs 35 members. For the majority.
