It was learnt that after deliberating on the situation, the leaders felt that Sukhu should remain as chief Minister at least till the Lok Sabha elections. The meeting was also attended by Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. After hearing the side of Vikramaditya, the leadership felt the situation doesn’t call for an immediate replacement of the Chief Minister, said a leader aware of the developments. The minister’s hands were not tied, he said. Earlier Vikramaditya said,
“The state government failed to alot even a small piece of land on Mall Road to install the statue of my father Virbhadra Singh, who was the CM of Himachal Pradesh six times, because of whom this government was formed…We are emotional people, we have nothing to do with posts…But this is very unfortunate…I am very hurt, not politically but emotionally. ”
As Vikramaditya’s mother Pratibha Singh also extended support to the six disqualified Congress MLAs, the party was in a tight spot. Pratibha Singh is currently the Himachal Pradesh Congress unit chief.
