Even before Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu’s wife Kamlesh Thakur could reach Dehra in Kangra district on Thursday to launch her campaign for the July 10 Assembly bypoll, problems had flared up for her in this high-stakes battlefield.
Himachal Congress leader and state minister Vikramaditya Singh lost the high-profile Mandi Lok Sabha battle to actor Kangana Ranaut by 74,755 votes. In an interview with The Indian Express, Singh talks about his loss from Mandi — a seat that his parents, the late former CM Virbhadra Singh, and state Congress chief Pratibha Singh have represented before — why he thinks it will stand him in good stead, Kangana Ranaut, and why he contested despite reluctance.
Repeating its 2019 performance in the parliamentary polls, the BJP Tuesday won all four Lok Sabha seats of Himachal Pradesh.
The Congress released another list of 16 candidate for the Upcoming Lok Sabha Elections on Saturday. The party fielded Vikramaditya Singh against Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) candidate Kangana Ranaut in Himachal Pradesh's Mandi.
The BJP candidate from Mandi Lok Sabha seat in Himachal Pradesh, actor Kangana Ranaut, on Wednesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi is an 'ansh' (part) of Lord Ram and Lord Vishnu.
THAT Himachal Pradesh Congress chief Pratibha Singh is not happy with the state of affairs in the party has been evident since Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu was chosen as the Chief Minister after the Congress won the state Assembly elections last year. The discontent burst into the open during the recent Rajya Sabha elections, when six Congress MLAs cross-voted to help the BJP candidate win, and Pratibha refused to condemn them outright, while her son Vikramaditya, a minister in the Sukhu government, threatened to join the rebels.
Along with the Lok Sabha elections, Himachal Pradesh will vote for bypolls to six Assembly constituencies, now vacant after the sitting Congress MLAs cross-voted in favour of the BJP in the recent Rajya Sabha elections and were disqualified. However, given that theripples of that rebellion haven’t still settled in the Congress, the party led by Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu is facing a tough task trying to retain the six seats, which include Sujanpur, Barsar, Gagret, Kutlehar, Dharamshala, and Lahaul-Spiti.
The bypolls to six Assembly seats in Himachal Pradesh, fallen vacant following the disqualification of as many Congress MLAs, will be held simultaneously with the Lok Sabha polls on June 1, state’s Chief Electoral Officer Maneesh Garg said Saturday. The counting of votes will be held on June 4.
