KULLU, AUGust 19

Himachal Congress in-

charge and AICC general secretary Sushil Kumar Shinde said today that there were no differences among party workers.

Addressing members during a District Congress Committee meeting here, he said there were misunderstanding among some top leaders and these would be removed after dialogues.

He also warned the party leaders to refrain from making comments in public which would become news headlines and damage the party’s reputation.

Shinde was struggling hard to unite the party, which was divided in factions and top leaders were busy to pin down each other from the public platform.

Yesterday, Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh indirectly hit his detractors from the dais at Mandi by saying, “I am not Aya Ram or Gaya Ram who come and go in the party to reap the benefits or get posts.”

Commenting on the Modi government, he said the Central Government had promised to provide jobs to 2 crore people, but over 1 crore people lost their jobs due to demonetisation.

He said there were no differences among Congress workers. He appealed to the members to stay united to win the upcoming Assembly elections. He said everyone should ensure to support the candidates who were given the party ticket.

Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh said, “We should sink differences and work united to win the coming elections.” He said Kullu was the stronghold of the Congress and the party would suffer if two candidates of the party contest from the seat. He administered oath to members to stand united and apprise the masses about development in Kullu and the state.

HPCC president Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu, former minister Satya Prakash Thakur, HPCC general secretary Sunder Singh Thakur, Himachal Youth Congress president Vikramaditya Singh and many other leaders also spoke on the occasion.
