Mr Sohu once said the six black snakes of the Congress party sold their honor (File)
Shimla:
Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said the nine MLAs, including three independents and six unqualified Congress MLAs, should reflect and realize Asking who is responsible for the current situation, they voted for the BJP in the recent Lok Sabha polls.
In a joint statement issued here, the MLAs said they were engaged in a battle of self-esteem and questioned the mindset of the Chief Minister, who on one hand sought compromise from them while on the other hand made remarks like Black Snake and Shepherd’s Statement.
At a public meeting, Mr Sohu had said the six black snakes of the Congress party had betrayed their honor and tried to destabilize the state government, later likening them to shepherds moving from one place to another.
The nine MLAs include six Congress rebels Sudhir Sharma, Ravi Thakur, Rajinder Rana, Inder Dutt Lakhanpal, Chetaniya… Sharma and Devinder Kumar Bhutto, and three independents Ashish Sharma, Hoshiar Singh and KL Thakur.
MLAs asked Suhu to clarify that during his official visit to Chandigarh, he stayed in a five-star hotel instead of his assigned room at Himachal Bhawan.
They questioned the reason behind sending the security guard back from the five-star hotel and asked him to tell the public about his hidden agenda.
They say MLAs feel suffocated and humiliated in the government because the chief minister prefers his friends to others and the circle of friends dominates MLAs.
The people of the state are also well aware of what “cabinet-level friends” have done in this administration and how much spoil they have created, the statement added.
