Shimla, Jun 12 (PTI) Congress legislators on Wednesday vowed to fight against the BJP's "politics of horse-trading" and uphold the integrity of the political process ahead of the bypolls in Himachal Pradesh.

By-elections to three assembly constituencies -- Dehra, Hamirpur, and Nalagarh -- will be held on July 10. The seats fell vacant after the resignation of three Independent MLAs who had voted in favour of the BJP in the Rajya Sabha elections. Later they joined the saffron party.
