Congress' bet on Mandi seat, may give the ticket to Vikramaditya...
congress can make a big bet on Mandi's seat in the Himachal lok sabha elections. According to sources, the party may field vikramaditya Singh against actress kangana Ranaut. congress wanted Pratibha Singh, the sitting mp from Mandi, to contest the elections again. But vikramaditya Singh's figures were better in the survey of the Mandi seat. The survey also revealed that only vikramaditya Singh will be able to compete with kangana among the young voters.
The party was in a dilemma due to the crisis over the stability of the Sukhu government, but later it was decided that Pratibha Singh's son and minister in the Sukhu government, vikramaditya Singh, would contest the elections against Kangana. If vikramaditya Singh wins the elections, Pratibha Singh will contest the assembly elections from his seat. In the year 2014 and year 2019, bharatiya janata party candidate Pandit Ramswaroop Sharma won from here. In the year 2014, Pratibha Singh lost the election against Ramswaroop Sharma. After this, Pratibha Singh did not contest the 2019 elections from here. In his place, congress gave a ticket to Pandit Sukhram's grandson Ashray Sharma, but he too could not win.
After the death of Pandit Ramswaroop Sharma, a by-election was held here and Pratibha Singh won the by-election. Apart from the anti-incumbency of the then bjp government, there was also an emotional wave of the demise of Virbhadra Singh in the victory of Pratibha Singh.
The current mp from the Mandi parliamentary constituency is also the President of the Himachal Congress. She has refused to contest elections on an open platform. Pratibha Singh says that the party should not limit her only to Mandi parliamentary constituency. He also has to focus on winning the by-elections of six assembly constituencies along with four lok sabha constituencies. However, Pratibha Singh later clarified that if the party's high command asks, she will contest the elections. In case Pratibha Singh does not contest the elections, vikramaditya Singh can contest the elections.
