Shimla:

Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Suhu launched a fresh attack on the six disqualified MPs, saying they were being herded from one place to another like shepherds Like a flock of sheep.

Six Himachal Pradesh MPs and three Independents, who voted against party nominee Abhishek Manu Singhvi in ​​the BJP elections, have moved to India amid the ongoing insurgency against Sukur A hotel in the BJP-ruled Uttarakhand state.

Addressing a public meeting in Mandi, Suhu said the BJP was moving six disqualified MPs who had defected from the party from one place to another, a statement said.

He also asked why the BJP kept rebel MPs at a hotel in Panchkula, Haryana, before flying them to Dehradun in a chartered flight and putting them up in a seven-star hotel in Rishikesh .

“These MLAs failed to heed the call of conscience and betrayed the trust of their voters and their political parties,” he said.

Suhu added that the public would be taught a lesson to those who tried to hatch the conspiracy and insisted that his government would complete its term.

The chief minister said he came from an ordinary background and achieved the top job in the state by fighting for the rights of the people.

He added that the post of chief minister belongs to the common man and not to those who want to hold the chairmanship for power and enjoyment and grab it with money.

Two Himachal Janata Party MPs, Vikram Thakur and Trilok Jamwal, accompanied the rebel MPs who arrived from Phanchh in a chartered flight late on Friday Kula arrived in Rishikesh and checked into the Taj Mahal Hotel.

Congress MPs Sudhir Sharma, Rajinder Rana, Inder Dutt Lakhanpal, Devinder Kumar Bhuttu, Ravindra Thakur and Chaitanya Sharma were disqualified for defying the party whip on the state budget issue. They have approached the Supreme Court seeking relief.

Three Independent MPs Hoshiar Singh, KL Thakur and Ashish Sharma were with them when they arrived.
