Overview

  • Vikramaditya Singh advocates for a new Himachal Pradesh Congress chief with grassroots influence across 3–4 districts, rejecting symbolic or 'rubber stamp' leadership.
  • The current state Congress chief, Pratibha Singh, remains in office pending a decision by the party high command following the dissolution of state units in November 2024.
  • Singh plans to engage central leadership for an early appointment, emphasizing the need for strong, independent leadership to revitalize the party organization.
  • He highlighted Himachal's progress in infrastructure projects, including leading the nation in PMGSY Phase IV road project submissions, while warning of delays due to land acquisition challenges.
  • Singh also called for banning Turkey-based companies from infrastructure projects, citing Turkey's support for Pakistan in recent geopolitical conflicts.
