Along with this, news is now coming that the Congress high command can also remove the Himachal CM. Sources have said that Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has spoken to Rahul Gandhi in this regard.
If media reports are to be believed, it is being said that there has been talk between the two regarding changing the Chief Minister. Sources have also said that if the rebel Congress MLAs do not return, the Speaker can also cancel their membership.
