Rajya Sabha Row: Sukhu-Sharma Clash Explodes, Six MLAs Disqualified
The Rajya Sabha elections in Himachal Pradesh have descended into a bitter war of words between Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu and BJP MLA, Mr. Sharma. The conflict erupted following allegations of cross-voting.
Sukhu publicly questioned the source of significant donations received by Sharma, hinting at a possible link to his recent switch in political allegiance. The Chief Minister’s comments have ignited a firestorm of controversy.
In a sharp retort, Sharma accused Sukhu of harbouring a personal vendetta (“Sudhirphobia”), alleging financial irregularities were used to defeat him in a recent by-election. These counter-accusations have further escalated the tension.
The escalating political drama took a dramatic turn with the disqualification of six MLAs on August 8, 2025. The exact reasons for their disqualification remain unclear, adding another layer of complexity to the already volatile situation.
This high-stakes political battle in Himachal Pradesh underscores the intense power struggles within the state’s political landscape and raises serious questions about the integrity of the electoral process. The ramifications of these events will undoubtedly shape the state’s political future for months to come.
