Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister criticised Assam’s Himanta Biswa Sarma, alleging the BJP positioned him to unite five party factions.
Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu took a jab at Assam's Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, asserting that the Bharatiya Janata Party had brought him in to reconcile five distinct factions within the party. The remarks were made during a public interaction where the CM addressed recent intra‑party developments.
Sukhu suggested that the BJP's leadership was using Himanta as a unifying figure to bridge gaps among competing groups, thereby strengthening the party's cohesion ahead of upcoming electoral contests. He emphasized that the move reflected a strategic effort to consolidate fragmented elements rather than an endorsement of any individual leader.
Political observers noted that such statements highlight growing tensions within the party's state units and underscore the central leadership's attempts to manage factionalism through high‑profile appointments. The comments add another layer to the ongoing discourse on how the BJP navigates internal dynamics across different regions.
