It is said that there was a lot of upheaval in the Congress regarding the post of Chief Minister in Himachal Pradesh. The names that were in the race for the post of CM were very big. In such a situation, it was a big challenge to finalize the name of any one. The high command was also afraid of factionalism within the party. The Congress high command does not want by-elections under any circumstances. Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu has been elected MLA. Whereas, Pratibha Singh is still an MP. It is being told that if Pratibha Singh was made the CM, the Congress would have to hold two by-elections, one for the Assembly and the other for the Mandi Lok Sabha seat. On the other hand, this time in the elections held in Himachal Pradesh, BJP has won 12 assembly seats out of 12 falling in Mandi Lok Sabha constituency. In such a situation, if there were by-elections, Congress was afraid of losing this seat. Along with this, the victory in other seats of the Vidhansabha has also been achieved by a very small margin. In such a situation, there was a fear of defeat in the by-elections as well. It is also being said that if Pratibha Singh was made the Chief Minister, the Congress would once again be accused of familyism.
