Himachal CM Sukhu denies resignation amidst turmoil

In response to media reports alleging his resignation, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu clarified his stance, affirming his commitment to the Congress party and asserting that the government will persist until the completion of its term. Earlier speculations regarding his resignation emerged amidst growing discord among Congress legislators, posing a challenge to the stability of the state administration. However, Sukhu denied tendering his resignation to the party's high command, signaling his resolve to navigate through the ongoing political turbulence.

Amidst the political turmoil, 15 BJP MLAs faced suspension from the Himachal Pradesh Assembly, exacerbating the existing tensions between the ruling Congress and the opposition. This action was precipitated by the Congress's defeat in the recent Rajya Sabha polls, where the BJP secured victory, indicating internal strife within the Congress ranks. The BJP's success in securing support from six Congress lawmakers has further destabilized the state's political landscape, prompting the intervention of senior Congress leaders to address the disgruntlement among party members.
