Vikram Dhatwalia, HamirpurOne hour ago
Within the Congress that returned to power in Himachal Pradesh, a struggle has started regarding the Chief Minister’s face. In this confusion, the hopes of Hamirpur district have also started increasing. Can the district get the CM’s chair again after 10 years? The names of Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu, who won from Nadaun and Rajendra Rana, who became MLA for the third time from Sujanpur, are on top of this list.
Prem Kumar Dhumal from Hamirpur district has sat on the CM’s chair twice. When there was a change of power in the 2012 assembly elections, at that time Rajendra Rana was once again elected Congress MLA from Sujanpur. But at that time Prem Kumar Dhumal won the election from Hamirpur.
In 2017, Rana had defeated former CM Dhumal.
After that, in the year 2017, when assembly elections were held again, Rajendra Rana again faced him in Sujanpur in the form of Prem Kumar Dhumal. Even then Prem Kumar Dhumal was the face of the CM. But in that election, Rajendra Rana defeated Prem Kumar Dhumal and won by 1919 votes. Then he came in a lot of discussion in the politics of the state from Hamirpur district. This time also he has been elected Congress MLA from Sujanpur.
Expectations of MLA Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu and supporters
The meaning is clear that in the form of Prem Kumar Dhumal, Hamirpur district has got the chair of Chief Minister twice. The hopes of Nadaun MLA Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu and his supporters are rising as the CM face. He had an impact on state politics since his posting as the chairman of the party’s election campaign committee. Not only this, the freshness that is being received in Lower Himachal regarding the CM face. This is the reason for that.
Apart from Shanta Kumar no Brahmin face was found
Apart from Shanta Kumar, no other Brahmin face has been able to become the Chief Minister in Himachal. That is why the discussion of Rajput faces in the form of Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu and Rajendra Rana has started. Although there has been a distance between the two since the beginning, but these distances have reduced since some time ago.
Big stature as a Rajput leader
In the form of Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu, it is argued that he has been very active in student politics. At the Center too, he has had considerable influence within the party high command. Being a Rajput leader, his stature has always been in Congress politics. But Sukhu’s displeasure within the party at the time of late Virbhadra Singh is not hidden from anyone. That’s why his name as the face of the party takes him to the top of the lower Himachal politics.
Has closeness to the high command
His stature in the party had increased considerably after Rajendra Rana defeated former Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal from Sujanpur. His closeness started increasing even in the high command. For this reason, now his name has also been included in the race for CM face. But whatever it may be, if Hamirpur gets the CM’s chair on the basis of these faces of Congress, then it will be important for the politics of the party for Lower Himachal.
