Chander Kumar, the agriculture minister of Himachal Pradesh, has rejected claims made by his son, Neeraj Bharti, a former MLA, against Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, labeling them as baseless. Bharti recently resigned from his position as vice-president of the Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee after being issued a show-cause notice for his public criticisms of the government. In his resignation letter, Bharti expressed dissatisfaction with the administration's performance and claimed it has failed to support grassroots workers. Kumar emphasized the importance of addressing grievances through proper party channels rather than public platforms. The fallout from this incident has highlighted divisions within the state Congress party, with former state Congress chief Pratibha Singh supporting Bharti's concerns about the treatment of party workers. Meanwhile, opposition leaders, including BJP Rajya Sabha MP Harsh Mahajan and Leader of the Opposition Jai Ram Thakur, have seized the opportunity to criticize the Sukhu administration, alleging corruption and governance failures.
