Himachal CM Sukhu and Minister Reject BJP's Factionalism Claims in Congress
Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu and PWD Minister Vikramaditya Singh dismissed BJP's claims of factionalism within the Congress, calling them baseless. The absence of Sukhu and state Congress president Vinay Kumar from Virbhadra Singh's statue unveiling in Sarahan was cited by BJP as evidence of division. Sukhu emphasized respect for the late leader and denied internal conflicts, while acknowledging some Congress leaders' concerns about recognition of Virbhadra Singh's legacy. The Congress leadership, including Sonia and Priyanka Gandhi, attended related events.
