Rebel trouble for Congress, newly-elected BJP MP says party will form government soon
Amid the ongoing political turmoil in Himachal Pradesh, the H.P. State Legislative Assembly Speaker Kuldeep Singh Pathania met Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla at Raj Bhavan in Shimla. Earlier in the morning, the Leader of the Opposition in the State Assembly, Jairam Thakur had met the Governor, pointing out that the BJP has urged for the division of votes on the cut motions in the ongoing Budget Session.
After the meeting with the Governor, Mr. Thakur said, “We informed the Governor about whatever happened inside the State Assembly recently. During the Budget Session, discussions are held on cut motions, the concerned Ministers reply, after that voting takes place, and if the Opposition is not satisfied by the voice voting, they have the right to ask for the division of vote. But the Speaker ignored our plea and adjourned the House.”
