Attacking the Congress rebels, Himachal Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu Wednesday said he never imagined that a few MLAs from Hamirpur will go against the party and hinder the pace of development in the district.
Addressing a gathering at Pakka Bharo after laying the foundation stone of Hamirpur bus stand, he targeted Rajinder Rana (Sujanpur assembly seat) and Inder Dutt Lakhanpal (Barsar assembly segment) without naming them and said they have not only deceived the government but also the people of their respective constituencies.
Six Congress MLAs and three independents who were supporting its government voted in favour of BJP candidate Harsh Mahajan in Rajya Sabha polls held on February 27.
Of the total nine, Congress MLAs Rajinder Rana and Inder Dutt Lakhanpal and Independent MLA Ashish Sharma (Hamirpur assembly seat) are from Hamirpur, Chief Minister Sukhu’s home district.
Sukhu represents the Nadaun assembly constituency which falls under Hamirpur district.
Lashing out at the BJP, the chief minister alleged the BJP resorted to unconstitutional tactics to try and overthrow the government. But the people of the state have elected the government and it will complete its tenure, he asserted.
Earlier, the chief minister inaugurated and laid foundation stones of development projects worth Rs 77 crore. He also flagged off Awahdevi-Hamirpur-Ayodhya HRTC bus service on the occasion.
