Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu Takes Oath As Himachal Pradesh’s C M | Himachal News Live | News18 Live
Former Congress state chief Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu takes oath as Himachal Pradesh’s Chief Minister in Shimla . Two days after the Congress wrested power from BJP winning 40 seats in the 68-member Assembly, the Congress leadership Saturday named Sukhu as the next CM, during a CLP meeting held in the state. Mukesh Agnihotri, leader of Opposition in the outgoing Assembly, has been appointed as Deputy Chief Minister.
The swearing-in ceremony of the new Government in Himachal will be attended by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, party leader Rahul Gandhi and AICC General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi. The party choice of CM is a major setback to state party chief Pratibha Singh, who had openly staked claim to the top post invoking the legacy of Vibhadra Singh, the five-time Chief Minister who died last July.
