Former Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister and veteran BJP leader Prem Kumar Dhumal, aged 80, shares concerns about the stability of the Congress-led government in the state despite its majority in the Assembly. He highlights the challenges posed by internal dissidence and resentment within the Congress ranks.
Dhumal, known for his tenure as Chief Minister and the father of five-time Hamirpur MP and former Union Minister Anurag Thakur, emphasizes the importance of the BJP’s cadre-based structure. He expressed surprise over the BJP’s decision to absorb six rebel Congress MLAs and three Independents into its ranks, indicating a disconnect from the party’s internal processes.
Due to health complications, Dhumal now resides primarily at his home in Samirpur village, where he maintains a watchful eye on political developments.
Excerpts from the interview:
“In spite of holding a clear majority in the Assembly, internal dissension within the Congress remains a significant hurdle for the state government.”
“The BJP is known for its cadre-based approach, where input from party workers is crucial. However, I was not informed about the BJP’s strategy to bring in six rebel Congress MLAs and three Independents.”
“Health concerns have confined me to my residence in Samirpur village, but I remain attentive to political developments unfolding in Himachal Pradesh.”
