Shimla, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister has claimed that the Congress government is stable in the state.

He said that giving tickets to six Congress rebels who voted in favor of BJ in the Rajya Sabha elections would be disastrous for the party.

"After the disqualification of the six Congress rebels, we have 34 members in the 62-member assembly, while the BJP has 25. Even if we assume that all the six Congress rebels contesting on BJP tickets would have won If, BJ's strength will be 31, still far from majority, Sukhu said while speaking to the ideologues.

He said that neither the Congress cadre nor the BJP cadre like the six dissidents.Six Congress MLAs, namely Rajinder Rana (Sujanpur), Sudhir Sharm (Dharamshala), Ravi Thakur (Lahaul and Spiti), Inder Dutt Lakhanpal (Barsar) Chetanya Sharma (Gagret) and Davinder Kumar Bhutto (Kutlehar) had voted in my favor. .
