MANDI: Former Congress stalwart Sukh Ram, who has recently joined BJP after allegedly getting fed up with the humiliation perpetrated by Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh, has claimed that he would leave no stone unturned to enable the BJP to win all the ten Assembly seats of Mandi district.
In an exclusive interview, the former union minister said he would live no stone unturned to canvass for the BJP candidates.
He said he would vigorously work against chief minister Virbhadra Singh if the BJP high command directed him to do so. Quoting an old saying, ”Those who dig grave for others are themselves buried in that grave.
This would be exactly the fate of Virbhadra Singh, who had manipulated to get him in the net of corruption,” Sukh Ram, a close confidant of then Prime Minister P V Narsimaha Rao said. Earlier last week, he had alleged that the money found at his residence during the CBI raids was handed over to him by the then AICC cashier Sita Ram Kesri under a murky conspiracy hatched by Virbhadra Singh.
He claimed that an anti-Virbhadra Singh wave was sweeping the entire state for first winning over political enemies and then ditching them. Sukh Ram said the tenure of the Chief Minister was tainted with alleged scams and lawlessness as the Government was being run by a handful of retired bureaucrats who were confidants of Virbhadra Singh who were arbitrarily ruling the hill state in an autocratic way.
He expressed his firm assessment of the current political situation in Himachal Pradesh that Congress party would be totally decimated from the state in the November 9 assembly elections. (AGENCIES)
