Of course, there are many seekers of the Chief Minister’s face in the Congress, but the politics of the state is mainly revolving around Holy Lodge and Sukhwinder Sukhu Camp. Congress has fixed 63 tickets. Among them, Virbhadra Singh Camp i.e. Holy Lodge seems to be dominating. This is also natural as six-time CM Virbhadra Singh has dominated the party for six decades.
Till now 29 tickets to Holy Lodge Camp
If political pundits are to be believed, so far Holy Lodge Camp has managed to get 29 tickets to its supporters. More ticket to Holy Lodge supporters is an indication that if Congress comes in a position to form the government, then the Chief Minister’s face may also be of Holi Lodge’s choice.
16 tickets to Sukhu Camp
Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu, chairman of the election campaign committee, who has always been considered an opponent of the Holy Lodge, has given tickets to about 16 supporters on his own. In this context, Sukhu is also emerging as a strong leader because not only Congress state president Pratibha Singh, but Mukesh Agnihotri is also being counted in the Holy Lodge camp.
10 to 12 faces will see the wind direction
Congress has given tickets so far, there are 10 to 12 faces who can go with the wind like Kaul Singh Thakur, Mukesh Agnihotri, Sukhu, Asha Kumari, Ram Lal Thakur or even Colonel Dhaniram Shandil.
8 Candidate Neutral
8 to 9 candidates seem neutral who can go with anyone at the behest of the high command. After the ticket is fixed on 5 seats, the situation will be more clear. If the Congress reaches a position to form the government.
These faces in the race for CM
Of course, the names of Mukesh Agnihotri and Sukhwinder Sukhu are being taken more in the race of CM but Kaul Singh’s claim also cannot be ignored. He is the senior-most and an eight-time MLA in the Congress.
Mukesh Agnihotri is currently the Leader of the Opposition. There is no separate camp for them. He is considered close to Virbhadra Singh. In the politics of the state, he is also being seen as a strong contender for CM.
Sukhu is so much discussed
Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu is also in the race for CM. If Sukhu manages to win all his supporters and gets a signal from the high command, then he too can be the CM. Being an opponent of holly can be harmful. MLA from Dalhoji and senior leader Asha Kumari and MLA Ram Lal Thakur from Shri Naina Devi ji cannot be underestimated. Both of these are also included in the race of CM.
now the responsibility of winning the election
The woes of Congress leaders at the time of allotment of tickets in the affair of the number game of becoming CM is well known. Now whatever the camp is. The leader who got the ticket. Deputy also has the responsibility of winning the election. Whose more MLAs will come after winning, he is sure to become the CM.
Congress contesting elections without Virbhadra for the first time in six decades
Virbhadra Singh himself has been the high command in the Himachal Congress for almost six decades, which he wanted. They used to show taxes too, but this time Congress is in the fray without them. This is the reason why the party is not able to allocate tickets to all the seats even after 48 days of brainstorming.
