Himachal MLA Resigns After Rajya Sabha Loss, Says Being Ignored By Congress

Compounding the Congress's problems in Himachal Pradesh, state minister Vikramaditya Singh quit as minister this morning after accusing Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu of overlooking MLAs and disrespecting his father and Congress's tallest leader in the hill state, the late Virbhadra Singh. This comes amid dramatic developments in Himachal Pradesh over the past 24 hours that turned an election for a single Rajya Sabha seat to a battle for survival for the Congress government.
