Congress Himachal Unit

The Congress has dissolved its state unit in Himachal Pradesh, one of only three states where it has its own chief minister.

The Himachal Pradesh unit of BJP on Monday said it was "unfortunate" that Chief Minister Sukhvinder Sukhu has resorted to "harassing" MLAs and calling them "black snakes", and added that such words should not be used for elected representatives.

Senior Congress leader DK Shivakumar, who took his troubleshooting skills from Karnataka to Himachal Pradesh, today sounded an all-clear for the faction-ridden state party that had brought the government on brink of collapse.

In signs of a thaw in the infighting-riddled Himachal Pradesh unit of the Congress, state minister Vikramaditya Singh has taken back his resignation hours after tendering it.

Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, the new Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh who took oath today, disagreed that the state unit of the Congress is riven with factionalism.

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and his Congress colleague Sachin Pilot, who have been locked in a turf war, flew together to Shimla to attend the swearing-in of Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu as Himachal Pradesh CM on Sunday.

Many Congress leaders in Himachal Pradesh want to become the Chief Minister, said state unit president Pratibha Singh as the state votes today to elect a new government.

Reviving the old pension scheme, 300 units of free power, a Rs 680-crore StartUp fund, one lakh jobs and Rs 1,500 per month for women between 18 to 60 years are among the promises the Congress made in its manifesto for the Himachal Pradesh polls.

Senior Congress leader Anand Sharma on Thursday said the G23 grouping is working to strengthen the party, which will put up a united face in the Himachal Pradesh Assembly polls.

Anand Sharma, who stepped down from the "steering committee" of the Congress's Himachal Pradesh unit today, unleashing a full-scale crisis in the state unit, said he has been "vilified and humiliated" after giving his entire life to the party.

Anand Sharma was appointed chairman of the "steering committee" of the Congress's Himachal Pradesh unit in April.

The new Congress team in Himachal Pradesh took charge on Thursday, about seven months before the Assembly elections scheduled to be held in December.

Ahead of the Himachal Pradesh Assembly polls, the Congress appointed former chief minister Virbhadra Singh's wife and Mandi Lok Sabha MP Pratibha Virbhadra Singh as the president of the party unit in the state on Tuesday.

The Congress has dissolved its state unit in Himachal Pradesh, but retained the state president Kuldeep Singh Rathore.
