Shimla: Himachal Pradesh CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Monday said that the things that happened in the past are now in the past and that his government is now focusing on the future of the state and making Himachal a “prosperous and richest state.”
“Whatever happened has happened; now the government is working and let’s focus on the future of the state. By 2032, we need to make Himachal Pradesh the most prosperous and richest state. People know everything. I extend greetings to everyone on the occasion of Holi,” the Himachal CM told ANI.
Earlier on Saturday, six Congress rebels and three independent MLAs joined the Bharatiya Janata Party. All the six rebels had voted for the BJP candidate during the Rajya Sabha polls leading to Harsh Mahajan’s surprise win from the hill state. Congress candidate Abhishek Manu Singhvi lost the election.
The six Congress MLAs were disqualified by the Assembly Speaker for defying a whip to be present in the House during the state’s budget session. The Election Commission has already announced bypolls on the six seats which will be held on June 1 along with polling on four Lok Sabha seats.
“Whatever happened has happened…,” Himachal CM Singh extends Holi wishes
