6 Himachal Congress MLAs Disqualified for Cross-Voting BJP in RS Polls

In a significant development within the political landscape of Himachal Pradesh, Speaker Kuldeep Singh Pathania of the Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly announced the disqualification of six Congress Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs). This action followed their contravention of anti-defection laws by cross-voting in favor of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) during the recent Rajya Sabha elections. The Speaker, in adherence to the legal framework, declared that the six aforementioned individuals, who contested under the Congress banner, immediately forfeit their membership in the Himachal Pradesh Assembly. This decision marks a notable event in the state’s political sphere, reflecting the enforcement of legislative integrity and adherence to democratic principles.
