Vijay Karan skips meeting

Dharamsala, March 4

With the Congress gearing up for the Dharamsala MC poll, fissures have appeared in the party.

Vijay Inder Karan, Congress leader, who had contested the Dharamsala Assembly bypoll in 2019, skipped a meeting convened by former HPCC president Sukhwinder Sukhu to devise a strategy for the coming MC polls today. Vijay said he was not invited.

He had lost the bypoll from Dharamsala and has been blaming former minister Sudhir Sharma and his supporters for his defeat. Vijay and supporters of Sudhir have levelled allegations against each others on the social media.

Sukhu said the party had regained its lost ground to some extent in panchayat polls. This time party would be very strict against any kind of dissension. Once the party decided its candidates, anyone going against them would be dealt with strictly. — TNS
