Bharatiya Janata Party (BjP) Legislature Party leaders led by Jairam Thakur met Himachal Pradesh Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla early Wednesday before the assembly meets. They demanded the division of votes for the financial budget in the state assembly. Congress has lost mandate, said Thakur after meeting the Governor.
The development comes hours after six Congress MLAs voted in favour of the BJP candidate in the Rajya Sabha polls in Himachal Pradesh, triggering a political crisis in the state.
