New Delhi: Several BJP MLAs led by Jairam Thakur today met Himachal Pradesh Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla, a day after the party won the lone Rajya Sabha seat in the state.
The meeting comes amid a buzz over the BJP bringing a motion of no-confidence in the assembly against the Congress government in the state.
The BJP said that the Rajya Sabha elections made it clear that the Congress government was in minority in Himachal Pradesh and demanded Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu resign.
The Congress has 40 MLAs and the BJP 25 in the 68-member state assembly. The remaining three seats are held by independents.
