Will feel the pulse before the Lok Sabha elections
During his tour, Mansukh Mandaviya will feel the pulse of Mandi parliamentary constituency and report it to the party high command. After this, after the instructions received from the party high command, he will have a program to visit Mandi again.
Mandi is also one of the 162 weak seats in the Lok Sabha.
Let us tell you that in the recently concluded BJP National Working Committee meeting in New Delhi, BJP has chosen 162 Lok Sabha seats across the country, which are weak. Himachal’s Mandi parliamentary seat is also one of them. In order to strengthen the grip on those seats in the working committee meeting, the party has made the Union minister in-charge. Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya has been made in-charge of Mandi parliamentary seat. He is coming to Mandi today.
Seat lost after the death of MP Ram Swaroop Sharma
After the death of MP Ram Swaroop Sharma, the Mandi seat was lost to the BJP. Bypolls were held here last year after Sharma’s death. In this the BJP had to face a crushing defeat. Congress got a massive victory from here and the wife of former chief minister Virbhadra Singh and PCC president Pratibha Singh won the election. He is the MP from here. That’s why BJP is considering Mandi parliamentary seat as the weakest of the four seats in the state.
