Day 2 of Himachal Assembly: Sukhu rushes to Delhi for urgent meeting on Cabinet formation

Shimla Rural MLA Vikramaditya Singh talked about how legislators from different states can visit the Vidhan Sabha for training and exchange of information. He also mentioned that the Vidhan Sabha is located in Kangra and is a symbol of ’emotional bonding’ for the entire state.

Kuldeep Singh Rathore, former HPCC chief and the first-time MLA from Theog, requested that the House, in the future, will allow young parliamentarians to speak their voice as well. He specifically referred to Chaitanya Sharma who is the youngest MLA in the house at 28 years old.

The legislators urged the Speaker to be fair in the discussions and to only allow debates over legitimate issues.

Governor RV Arlekar also reached the Vidhan Sabha and a vote of thanks will be held on the final day of the session on Friday. A discussion on bills related to financial management will also take place on the final day.

The House Session was held in the backdrop of intense lobbying for the cabinet berths. Several leaders are in conversation with the Chief Minister to increase their chances of getting a portfolio at the last minute.

With the CM’s visit to Delhi, speculation about the final list of names has only increased. From first-timers to seasoned politicians, several fronts are currently open but the final decision rests on the party high command in Delhi, said sources.
