 “Congress Chief Minister Heads to Delhi for Candidate Screening Amidst Party Discord in Himachal Pradesh”

Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhavinder Singh Sukhu is set to depart for Delhi on April 6 to participate in the Congress screening committee meeting, marking a pivotal moment amidst internal strife within the party in the state. The meeting will focus on discussions regarding the selection of candidates for both Lok Sabha and Assembly by-polls, with speculations rife that candidate announcements will follow suit post the deliberations.

In attendance at the Delhi meeting will be Pradesh Congress Committee President Pratibha Singh and Deputy Chief Minister, signaling the significance of the event in shaping the party’s electoral strategy and organizational cohesion. Sukhu’s itinerary also includes addressing electoral rallies in Kuthlehar and Nadaun, as well as attending local events on April 5, before departing for Gaggal Airport on April 6 to catch a flight to New Delhi.

The delay in candidate announcements has heightened anticipation surrounding the screening committee meeting, with all eyes on Delhi as the party navigates through internal challenges and strives to regain its footing in Himachal Pradesh. Rajiv Shukla, the Pradesh Congress Committee in-charge, has been actively engaging with senior leaders to solicit feedback on candidate selection and organizational issues, underscoring efforts to address concerns within the party ranks.

However, sources indicate that the screening committee meeting may pave the way for extensive organizational changes within the party, with the possibility of significant reshuffles and realignments post candidate announcements. The meeting’s outcome is anticipated to influence the Congress’s electoral prospects and its ability to confront mounting challenges in the state.

In the backdrop of escalating discord and defections to the BJP, the Congress finds itself in a precarious position, grappling with internal dissent and diminishing electoral support. The defection of six MLAs to the BJP has underscored the urgency for damage control measures and strategic interventions to bolster the party’s prospects ahead of the elections.

As the party strives to navigate through turbulent waters, the screening committee meeting emerges as a critical juncture for the Congress to assert its relevance and cohesion amidst mounting challenges. The meeting’s outcome will reverberate across the political landscape, shaping the party’s electoral narrative and its prospects in Himachal Pradesh.
