We will continue to serve the people of Himachal Pradesh,” the Congress leader said.In a major embarrassment for the Congress, the BJP on Tuesday won the Rajya Sabha seat with its candidate Harsh Mahajan defeating Congress stalwart Abhishek Manu Singhvi and setting the stage for a no-trust motion in the assembly.Amid the crisis, several Congress MLAs met at Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu’s house on Thursday even as there are demands from a section within the Congress to replace Sukhu as the chief minister.In the 68-member Himachal Pradesh Assembly, the Congress had 40 MLAs while the BJP has 25 legislators. The remaining three seats are held by independents.
