Himachal Congress drops one rebel MLA; another legislator quits hours later

Amid the continuing turmoil in the Congress in Himachal Pradesh, the party on March 6 removed disqualified legislator Sudhir Sharma as secretary of the All India Congress Committee (AICC), even as another disqualified MLA Rajinder Rana quit as working president of the State unit.

The two were among the six Congress legislators disqualified from the Assembly by Speaker Kuldeep Singh Pathania last month, after they cross-voted in favour of the BJP in the Rajya Sabha polls on February 27
