Himachal Minister Jagat Singh Negi Defends Criticism Amid Congress Discipline Dispute
Himachal Pradesh Revenue Minister Jagat Singh Negi defended his public criticism of party decisions, stating that raising concerns in the party's interest should not be seen as indiscipline. Negi criticized the appointment of Nigam Bhandari as Kinnaur District Congress chief, alleging that sidelining long-serving workers in favor of less committed individuals demoralizes party members. He emphasized the need to address grievances internally and aligned his views with Rahul Gandhi's call to remove 'sleeper cells' from the party. The state Congress leadership, including Rajani Patil, has warned against public dissent, threatening disciplinary action.
