The campaign started with full enthusiasm, but in the midst of this, the factionalism of the Congress came out again.

Sukhu and Pratibha factions face to face

Supporters of Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu and state president Pratibha Singh, Vikramaditya Singh came face to face. During this time Rajni Patil in -charge was also present there.

The fight for both camps continues!

It was believed that after the death of Virbhadra Singh, the dispute would cool down, but the latest development made it clear that the battle of both camps is still intact. Earlier, when Virbhadra Singh was the Chief Minister, Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu used to be the state Congress president. Today the situation has changed, Sukhu is CM and Pratibha Singh is the state Congress president. This is the reason that the conflict has started coming up again over the post of president and hold on the organization.

Program turned into power performance

In fact, this program was to attack the BJP government and join the public. Through the ‘Vote Chor, Kursi Chhota’ campaign, the Congress wanted to give a message that the opposition government has taken to the streets to save democracy. But before the stage, the workers started demonstrating power.

Himachal Pradesh Politics: Himachal Pradesh Agriculture Minister Chandra Kumar said on Thursday (June 19) that he has no need to resign, as issues related to transfer and adjustment in his constituency have been resolved. A few hours after the statement of the Agriculture Minister, his son Neeraj Bharti again threatened on Facebook.

He wrote that if the transfer of ‘BJP people’ is not canceled, then he will contest against the minister. Earlier, Neeraj Bharti wrote on Facebook on Wednesday (June 18) that his father will resign from his ministerial post.

Minister’s clarification on son’s resignation threat
Chandra Kumar said on Thursday, June 19, “Neeraj had some problems regarding transfer and adjustment to the constituency, but now the matter has been resolved. He is young and sometimes speaks angry, but the matter is resolved. ”

Minister Chandra Kumar said that the transfer to all departments, especially education, is ‘Bhanumati’s box’ and sometimes ineligible people join the transfer, which tarnish the image of the government as well as the government.

‘Transfer issue wastage of time’- Chandra Kumar
Chandra Kumar said, “I do not join the transfer, because it is a waste of time. Some of our workers have made transfer professions. It has become a tradition that when small workers also meet the Chief Minister, they demand transfer and many times the Chief Minister also discourage them. ”

Neeraj Bharti angry with father
A few hours later, in another post on Facebook, the minister’s son said, “Transfer in Himachal Pradesh is also part of politics. When you are in opposition and the employees associated with your party are transferred to a distance, then they say that they will adjust you when the government comes. But when the government comes, Congress leaders like you make similar statements to save their lives that we have not become MLAs or ministers for transfers.

He said, “I and our Congress workers know how we have faced the rule of BJP.” Those BJP leaders are being transferred, but they have not yet been supported by them in the election. The help of the chair will be yours, not mine. ”

‘I was shown down’- Neeraj Bharti
Addressing his father, he said, “I did not expect that you would show me down by giving such an interview.” I am openly fighting this fight on social media because it is a fight for thousands of Congress workers.
