After cross-voting in Rajya Sabha elections, Speaker of Assembly disqualified six MLAs for defying a whip to be present in the House and vote in favour of the ruling Congress during cut motions and budget.
After joining BJP, rebel Himachal MLA Davinder Kumar Bhutto said that they had left Congress and joined the BJP so that we could aid in the development of our state under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi.
“We have left Congress and joined the BJP so that we could aid in the development of our state under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi. We do not want any post, we have joined as party workers… Congress ignores its party workers and elected members. The Himachal government will definitely collapse soon,” he added.
