BJP president Suresh Kashyap, while addressing mediapersons here, said that there were too many chief ministerial candidates in the Congress, causing commotion. Besides, five-time MLA Ram Lal Thakur, who had resigned from the post of HPCC vice-president, exposed factionalism in the party.

He said that Congress president Pratibha Singh had in an interview recently stated that Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi did not give importance and time to senior Himachal leaders, leading to dissatisfaction in the party.

Kashyap said that Pratibha had said, “It is up to Rahul Gandhi whether he wants to devote time to the party or wants to do other things in life. If he doesn’t want to devote time, there are many leaders in the party who can fill that space.” He added that Pratibha later retracted her statement following a call from the central leadership. She accused the media of distorting her statement.
