Ahead of the 2022 Himachal Pradesh Assembly election, due later this year, the trouble for the Congress party, which aims to wrest power from the ruling Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP), seem to be mounting with prominent leaders leaving the party, citing factionalism and disarray over party operations in the State.
In the latest blow to the party’s electoral prospects, Harsh Mahajan, the party’s working president and a veteran leader, on Wednesday left the party to join the BJP, pointing out that the Congress’s State unit was riddled with infighting and groupism, which had left the party without almost any cadre. The youth was demoralised and disillusioned, with no direction at the State, district or constituency levels, he said.
