Shimla, December 11
Himachal Congress chief Pratibha Singh may have been pipped to the CM’s post by a known detractor of her late husband Virbhadra Singh, but the party ensured on Sunday that the erstwhile royal family of Rampur Bushahr gets its due acknowledgment.
Congress leaders Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Rahul Gandhi hugged Pratibha Singh, a Member of Parliament from Mandi, when she arrived for the swearing-in of Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu.
Pratibha Singh was seated beside Priyanka on the dais as the party appeared keen to send a signal that all was well and the leaders were united.
Rahul Gandhi posed for photographs with Pratibha Singh and her son Vikramaditya Singh.
