Amid turmoil within the Congress in Himachal Pradesh, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Thursday travelled to New Delhi to meet the party’s central leadership. Prior to leaving for the national capital, he hinted at reconciliation with the six rebel Congress MLAs who have been disqualified from the State Legislative Assembly.
“If anyone has committed a mistake but mends, then there’s always an option to talk, and all possibilities could be worked out,” Mr. Sukhu told journalists in Shimla.
Sources in the party said that Mr. Sukhu is expected to meet Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and other senior party leaders. Deliberations on the ongoing political situation in the hill State, against the backdrop of rebel Congress legislators, are expected to take place, the source added.
