HP Congress Presidency: SC Candidate or Cabinet Minister Favoured, Says CM Sukhu
Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has indicated a preference for the next president of the Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee (HPCC) to be either from the Scheduled Caste community or a willing member of his cabinet. This follows the likely departure of the current president, Pratibha Singh.
Several names are being considered for the crucial post. These include Deputy Speaker Vinay Kumar, MLA Vinod Sultanpuri, and a currently serving Education Minister.
The Chief Minister’s preference signals a potential shift in the party’s leadership structure within the state. The choice will have significant implications for the Congress’s strategy in the upcoming local body elections and beyond.
This decision underscores the party’s commitment to inclusivity and its efforts to strengthen its base in the state. The selection process will be closely watched by political analysts and the public alike, as it could shape the party’s future trajectory in Himachal Pradesh.
