The revolt by six former Congress MLAs, who supported BJP nominee Harsh Mahajan in the Rajya Sabha polls, was a rebuke to Congress for deceiving Himachal Pradesh residents with false promises, stated state BJP chief Rajiv Bindal. He criticized the Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu-led state government for lacking achievements after 15 months in power. The defection of leaders to BJP underscores public disillusionment with Congress, said Bindal.
