<p>Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Thursday (Aug 29), told the state assembly that all the state members and chief parliamentary secretaries won’t take salaries for two months as the Indian state is going through a financial crisis.</p>

<p>“After discussing in the cabinet, all the members of the cabinet decided that until the state sees good improvement in the coming times, we will not take any salary, nor TA, nor DA for two months,” the CM&nbsp;said.</p>

<p>“This is just a small amount, but a symbolic one. Apart from this, I also request all the MLAs to contribute in this regard,” he&nbsp;added.</p>

<p>Congress has 40 seats and&nbsp;Bharatiya Janata Party&nbsp;(BJP) has 28 members in the 68-seat state assembly.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The opposition leader, former Chief Minister Jairam Thakur, walked out of the assembly after&nbsp;Sukhu's&nbsp;declaration.</p>

<p>“According to the information I have received, they will not take a salary for two months. They have just deferred it since there is a financial crisis in the state. You have created Chief Parliamentary Secretaries (CPS) which cannot be created as per the Constitution. You have given Cabinet, chairman status to many people and all facilities have been given to them. So definitely I believe this is not a solution to all the problems and they have requested all the MLAs,” the former CM&nbsp;said.</p>

The entire excise policy was formulated only for the benefit of big players in the industry.”</p>

<p>He&nbsp;added, “Bidding for several liquor vends was cancelled with the excuse that there were no bidders. The same vends were later allotted by the state government to its favourite liquor contractors.”</p>

<p>As Delhi continues to grapple&nbsp;with water shortage, the Himachal Pradesh government did a U-turn on&nbsp;Thursday (June 13) and told India's Supreme Court that it does not have surplus water for Delhi. This comes a day after the state government&nbsp;stated&nbsp;it had released some for the national capital that had to pass through Haryana.</p>

<p>The top court had directed the Himachal Pradesh government to release 136 cusecs of water to the national capital and Haryana to streamline its flow.</p>

<p>Earlier, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu had said that the hill state had released the water and there were "no ifs and buts" about it.</p>

<p>"We have released water. We have asked advocates to inform the Supreme Court about this. The water we have released, we are ready to give that water. There are no ifs and buts," Sukhu said.</p>

<p>However, the Himachal Pradesh government withdrew&nbsp;its statement in the court Thursday and said&nbsp;it does not have surplus water to give to Delhi.</p>

<p>A vacation bench of Justices Prashant Kumar Mishra and Prasanna B Varale at the Supreme Court asked the Delhi government to submit an application to the UYRB seeking the supply of water to the national capital on humanitarian grounds.</p>

<p>It further said that sharing the water of the Yamuna River was a complex and sensitive matter and that the court did not have the required technical expertise to announce a decision even on an interim basis.</p>

<p>"The issue should be left to be considered by the body constituted with the agreement of parties in the memorandum of understanding dated 1994," the bench said.</p>

<p>"Since the UYRB has already directed Delhi to submit an application for the supply of water on humanitarian grounds... such an application be made, if not already made, by today by 5 pm, and the board shall convene a meeting tomorrow and take a decision in the matter at the earliest," it added.</p>

<p>The Supreme Court was hearing the Delhi government's plea seeking direction to the Haryana government to release surplus water provided by Himachal Pradesh as the national capital is reeling under severe water crisis amid scorching heatwave.</p>
