Himachal crisis: Will run govt for five years, says CM Sukhu
The BJP on Tuesday won the state's lone Rajya Sabha seat apparently setting the stage for a no-trust motion in the assembly
Shimla: Amid a political crisis in Himachal Pradesh after the defeat of the Congress candidate in the Rajya Sabha elections, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Wednesday asserted that they will run the government for five years.
"Neither the high command has asked me nor anyone else for resignation and there is no such thing," Sukhu said while replying to a question. He said, "The kind of work done by the state BJP leaders. They did not trust their own people. CRPF was deployed. Haryana police was deployed. A helicopter was used."
In a stunning upset for the ruling Congress in Himachal Pradesh, the BJP on Tuesday won the state's lone Rajya Sabha seat with its candidate Harsh Mahajan defeating Congress stalwart Abhishek Manu Singhvi and apparently setting the stage for a no-trust motion in the assembly.
