Day after alleging rebel Congress MLAs gained Rs 15 crore each, Himachal CM Sukhu slapped with legal notice

Sudhir Sharma, who is now the BJP candidate from Dharamshala, also raised questions about CM Sukhu’s Dubai tour last year to attend an investment summit. He said in his post, “The CM should clarify how he went to Dubai last year from Himachal Pradesh to attend an investment summit that was never held. He attended a private party there.” He also accused the Sukhu government of purchasing products at high costs from certain industries and factories in Baddi, benefiting a particular section of people.

On Thursday, while addressing a public meeting at Samurkalan in Una district, Sukhu alleged that the Congress rebels are corrupt and will go behind bars. He also alleged that Congress rebels who joined the BJP recently will also harm the cause of genuine BJP workers.

Taking strong exception to the language used by Sukhu, the BJP threatened to file a defamation case against him.

Nine legislators had voted in favour of BJP nominee Harsh Mahajan in the Rajya Sabha polls held on February 27. Thereafter, the police had registered an FIR against Independent MLA Ashish Sharma (Hamirpur) and Rakesh Sharma, father of rebel Congress MLA Chetanya Sharma (Gagret), for “electoral offences”, bribery and criminal conspiracy.
