Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu
Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, the chief minister of Himachal Pradesh, asserted on Wednesday that the BJP’s plot to overthrow the government was foiled and that he had managed to avert the immediate threat to the government posed by a few rebel MLAs. According to Sukhu, there is no way to accept the resignation of the late Virbhadra Singh’s son and Himachal Pradesh minister Vikramaditya Singh. Vikramaditya Singh is like his younger brother, according to Sukhu, and all of his complaints will be taken care of.
Himachal Pradesh crisis: Here’s what happened in the last 24 hours
1. On Tuesday, six Congress MLAs cast a cross-vote in the Rajya Sabha election. They spent Tuesday night at a hotel in Haryana and came back to Shimla on Wednesday for the budget session.

3. To make matters worse, on Wednesday, Vikramaditya Singh announced his resignation from Sukhu’s cabinet, blaming the government for its disrespect towards his late father.
4. Vikramaditya Singh claimed that although Congress won the 2022 election in his father’s name, they were unable to locate enough space to erect Virbhadra Singh’s statue.
5. After the Speaker suspended fifteen MLAs for allegedly interfering with the proceedings, the assembly session broke out in chaos. They were forced to leave the Assembly after they refused to leave the house.
6. There were many rumors that Sukhu had submitted his resignation, but Sukhu refuted them by saying he had neither resigned nor been asked to do so.
7. Bhupesh Baghel, DK Shivakumar, and Bhupinder Hooda were sent to Shimla by the Congress as observers. They will deliver a report to President Mallikarjun Kharge and address all party MLAs.
