Rahul calls Sukhu's mother on stage, Priyanka hugs him

Sansar Devi, mother of Himachal's new Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu, also attended the swearing-in ceremony. When Rahul Gandhi came to know that she was sitting in front of the dais, Rahul called her on dais and met her. Priyanka Gandhi hugged Sukhu's mother and made her sit on the stage.

Pratibha said – Son is sure to become a minister

Pratibha Singh said that a stable government will be formed in Himachal. We will work unitedly. Please tell that Pratibha was a contender for the post of Chief Minister. She was also said to be angry with the name of Sukhu. After meeting Sukhu, he said that making his son Vikramaditya Singh a minister is almost certain.

Sukhu reached the assembly for the fourth time

Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu has reached the assembly for the fourth time and Mukesh Agnihotri for the fifth time. Earlier, Sukhu was elected State President of Congress, President of NSUI, two times corporator of MC in Shimla, Youth Congress chief and Chairman of Election Campaign Committee in 2022.

After the approval of Sukhu's name by the high command, a meeting of the Congress Legislature Party was held in Shimla on Saturday evening, in which Sukhu was unanimously elected as the leader of the Legislature Party.

Vikramaditya Singh, son of former Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh, has reached the assembly for the second time, while Mukesh Agnihotri has been elected MLA for the fifth time. The Congress has won 40 out of 68 seats in the assembly elections and the BJP, which claims to have changed the custom, has been reduced to 25 seats. Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu was formally declared the Chief Minister in the Legislature Party held in the Assembly on Saturday evening after getting the seal of the High Command.

Pratibha's claim weakened due to being an MP

Pratibha Singh is the MP from Mandi seat. Because of this, his claim got weakened. In the recent assembly elections, Congress could win only 1 out of 10 seats in Mandi district. In such a situation, the Congress does not want to take the risk of by-elections here. On making Pratibha the CM, one would have to contest the election of the MLA.

Priyanka's appeal brought color

After the announcement of the election, Priyanka Gandhi did her first election public meeting in Mandi, Himachal. Here, while appealing to the regionalists to maintain the tradition of changing the government every five years in the hills, he said that repeated repetition spoils the mind of the leaders. That's why the tradition of changing the government every five years is very good.
