Himachal CM rules out Cabinet rejig post bypoll loss

Dharamsala, November 5

Himachal Pradesh CM Jai Ram Thakur today brushed aside the talk of a possible Cabinet reshuffle or leadership change in the state BJP after its recent bypoll loss in the state. During his visit to Kangra today, Thakur said nobody from the party high command had talked to him over the matter yet. “I will be going to New Delhi to attend the national executive meeting next week,” he said.

“We will analyse the reasons for the bypoll loss in the state executive meeting and try to work on shortcomings if needed. We will continue to work for ‘mission repeat’ in 2022,” he said. The CM along with Union Minister Anurag Thakur was present at the live screening of PM Narendra Modi’s speech from Kedarnath this morning. The two state leaders didn’t communicate much before and after the event. Other state ministers and party leaders present on the occasion avoided the media. — TNS
