Chander Kumar, the Agriculture Minister of Himachal Pradesh, has distanced himself from the allegations made by his son, Neeraj Bharti, against Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, calling them 'baseless and without facts'. Kumar emphasized that such statements harm both the party and the government’s image. Neeraj Bharti, a former MLA and vice-president of the Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee, had recently criticized the Chief Minister and leadership on social media, leading to his resignation from the party's vice-presidency. Kumar urged party members to utilize internal forums to express grievances rather than public platforms, asserting that discipline is crucial for the party's strength. He mentioned that the Congress leadership is taking the matter seriously and will seek resolution through dialogue with all involved parties. Kumar acknowledged the role of constructive criticism in democracy but insisted that public attacks on one's own government are inappropriate, especially when they can damage the party's reputation.
