SHIMLA: Days before the announcement of assembly election in HP, chief minister Virbhadra Singh has announced the candidature of his son Vikrmaditya Singh, state youth Congress president as the next probable candidate from Shimla Rural constituency.
Virbhadra’s announcement has increased political heat as people are wondering from where he himself would contest after giving up his own seat to launch the political career of his son. The party has already announced to contest assembly elections under the leadership of Virbhadra Singh.
Sources said it is not the announcement of launching his son that has left many party leaders in uncomfortable position but the announcement of chief minister to contest from different seat. If Congress wins the coming election, then Singh is set to become the chief minister for the seventh term, they said.
