Delimitation: BJP MLAs may move court Dharmsala, November 12 A notification relating to new Vidhan Sabha constituencies may be issued by December 15. If the schedule is adhered to, more than six MLAs mainly from Kangra will not be in a position to contest forthcoming elections. According to sources, the Commission heard all associate members and accepted the objections which led to Thural being deleted and Sullah being retained as the new constituency with major portion of Sullah in it. Sources state that most of the objections raised by the affected MLAs from Kangra had more of rhetoric less of logic and failed to convince the Commission. The Commission appears to have considered the views on the reservation of Chachiot and declaring Karsog in Mandi as open constituency and the decision is expected to be reversed. Similarly the decision on Rohru may be reversed but Baijnath may not get the same treatment. According to sources the affected MLAs plan to move court for not observing the procedure and taking decision in a haste which may affect their political career. It is also being said that MLA from Kangra failed to convince the Commission as they had not pleaded their case with arguments and also had not submitted proposals. |

The two SP leaders along with Usha Yadav, national secretary of the party, had come to the native village of Mahinder Singh to bless his daughter on the occasion of her marriage. A rousing reception was given to them as they alighted from the helicoper. Mr Amar Singh alleged that he, too, was tortured and arrested without warrants and later let off. He also narrated the case of torture of 10 MLAs who were detained for over 36 hours in a jail. When a correspondent asked whether they were meeting the President to discus the alleged partisan role of the Governor, Mr yadav said at the moment we had gone to the court of the people. “There was a virtual bandh in Uttar Pradesh yesterday though no call was given. It speaks volumes about the mass resentment against the Gover, he said. Mr Amar Singh said the House was the only place where majority could be tested and wondered why the session of the House was not being called. |
