After nearly four decades of his fidelity for the Congress, Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has been elected as Himachal’s Chief Minister, though rivals will get significant posts for balance and will be taking his oath today.
Here are a few factors behind Sukhvinder Sukhu’s elevation to the top post.
NUMBERS FIRST
Of the 40 Congress MLAs in the House of 68, Sukhvinder Sukhu has more than half. Indeed in his home district of Hamirpur — likewise the home district of BJP Union Minister Anurag Thakur and his dad, veteran Prem Kumar Dhumal — the Congress conquered four of five seats while the fifth went to a Congress leader who had turned a rebel.
SELF- MADE IMAGE
His coequals Pratibha Singh and Mukesh Agnihotri started politics under the shadiness of the late” Raja” Virbhadra Singh — her being wife, he as a journalist- cum- protege. They were dented against a self- constructed image of Mr Sukhu, a late student leader who formerly vended milk and whose father was a bus driver. Pratibha is presently state unit chief and her son Vikramaditya may be given away a senior post too.
NO STRANGER TO SHIMLA
Sukhvinder Sukhu’s Hamirpur district is a whole dissimilar area from the base Shimla and the upper hills, where the Virbhadra Singh clan draws power from subsisting quondam royalty. But Mr Sukhu is no foreigner to Shimla, where he did student politics and afterward won municipal polls before graduating to state- position politics and moving to his territory district Hamirpur.
RISE THROUGH RANKS
For four decades, he has worked in nearly all situations of the party in Himachal. Rising from the National Student Union of India, he became the state unit chief. He made claims to the highest seat, and made no secret of his competition with Virbhadra Singh, who failed last year. This manner made him stand out in an ocean of leaders who, without a squeak, played an alternate swindle to the” Raja” of Rampur- Bushahr.
MARKS A DISRUPTION
At the higher level, Congress faces the problem of being the same old again and again. It has struggled a lot to make a generational change in many states. The state of Himachal, only the third of it now rules and so can be used to portray a big message that Congress is not shy and they think beyond their families.
