Himachal Pradesh Congress Chief Pratibha Virbhadra Singh on Tuesday asked for help from the Central Government for state, saying that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should declare the hilly state a disaster-hit one and should start restoration work.

Himachal Pradesh's newly elected Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Wednesday allotted portfolios to the ministers, including giving the charge of the public works, youth and sports departments to former Chief Minister's son Vikramaditya Singh.

The Himachal Pradesh cabinet headed by Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu was expanded on Sunday with the induction of seven ministers, taking the total strength to nine.

While working as a journalist in Delhi, Mukesh Agnihotri got close to the top Congress leadership, and eventually became a confidante of late Virbhadra Singh, six time Chief Minister of the state, who brought him into politics.

A product of student politics, senior Congress leader and four-time MLA Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu was a known detractor of party veteran Virbhadra Singh who had dominated the Himachal Pradesh politics for over five decades until his demise last year.

After nearly four decades of his loyalty for the Congress, Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has been chosen as Himachal's Chief Minister, though rivals will get significant positions for balance.

Hours before the Congress's big meeting to decide on its Chief Minister for Himachal Pradesh, a state it won yesterday, a top leader staked her claim to the job with a sharp reminder for the leadership in Delhi.
