Himachal Pradesh CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu offers resignation amid rebellion by MLAs: Sources

Shimla: Himachal Pradesh chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Wednesday offered his resignation, according to reports. He offered his resignation to Congress observers rushed to the state amid political crisis after six MLAs rebelled against the party and PWD minister Vikramaditya Singh tendered his resignation.

The development comes hours after the ruling Congress suffered humiliating defeat in Rajya Sabha elections despite having majority.
Meanwhile, BJP leader and LoP Jairam Thakur has claimed that CM Sukhu has submitted his resignation. However, the Himachal CM has not made any official announcement in this regard.
