Himachal CM: Himachal Pradesh Congress president Pratibha Singh announced that a meeting will be held in the evening to settle on the name of the state’s Chief Minister.

“We will convene a meeting in the evening and then decide on the name of the CM; there is no groupism and everyone is on our side,” Pratibha Singh said, hours after her statement caused a firestorm of controversy.

Pratibha Virbhadra Singh strong note

According to ANI information, State President Pratibha Virbhadra Singh was heard hinting at her wish to be elected as the state’s chief minister, saying that the party cannot ignore the person (her husband-Virbhadra Singh) in whose name it contested and won the elections.

She said,”They can’t neglect his (Virbhadra Singh) family. We won on his name, face and work. It can’t be the case that you use his name, face and family and then give all the credit to someone else. Even High Command won’t do this.”
