Op India  

On one hand, the Gandhi scion, Rahul Gandhi is wandering from state to state leading his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra to consolidate people’s mandate in a last-ditch attempt to revive his party’s fortune before the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, and on the other, the party has been struggling with an array of obstacles in various states. Further complicating matters for the Congress government in Himachal Pradesh, Vikramaditya Singh, a state minister and the son of the former Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh and the current State Party President Pratibha Singh stepped down from his position on February 28. However, only a day after Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and Congress observer for Himachal Pradesh, DK Shivakumar, declared that Himachal Pradesh’s political crisis was over, state Congress chief Pratibha Singh declared how her party might not stand a chance to even come close to BJP in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. Congress is on a weak footing: Congress Himachal chief Pratibha Singh bats for BJP in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls On Friday, March 1, hours after her son Vikramaditya Singh met with the rebel MLAs who voted against the Congress in the Rajya Sabha elections, Pratibha Singh told ANI, “A lot of things remain to be done in Congress…It is true that BJP’s work is better than ours”. However, Pratibha Singh was quoted by ANI as saying, “Observer ke bolne se kya hota hai’, it is the people who will decide what will happen in the future.” Earlier, the State Congress chief defended the six dissident MLAs, stating that their only demands were to be heard and opposed their disqualification.
