Some Lesser Known Facts About Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu
- Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu is an Indian politician who won the seat from the Nadaun constituency for Indian National Congress in the Himachal Pradesh Assembly elections held in 2022.
- In 2017, Amit Shah talked about Sukhu during the election campaigns and said that the Congress party was a party of ‘rajas and ranis’ and no one else except already existing candidates would get a chance to come forward.
- In an interview, he said that it was difficult for him to enter politics as he came from a non-political background. In the interview, he further added,
Yes, I had to struggle at every step for survival in politics. The elites and those with political backing find their way easily, even in electoral politics. But the hard work and loyalty to organisation paid me off. Congress president, Rahul Gandhi wants to bring the ordinary workers to the fore and that’s why he picked me up for the top job. I was elevated as state Congress president in 2013 even after I lost the Assembly poll. The fact that I rose from struggle, not ‘power driven politics’, is my strength.”
- His and Virbharda’s conflicts gained a lot of limelight. Virbhadhra was the chief minister of Congress, Congress did not come to power. In the interview, he talked about this and said,
Yes. But the Congress was not able to win successive elections earlier even when Virbhadraji was there. Yet, with the BJP in the saddle and in his absence, we won the recent byelections, one to the Lok Sabha [Mandi] and three Assembly segments. He [Virbhadra Singh] was undoubtedly a tall leader and has left his legacy. But our organisational strength and presence are good, have been good. That is one reason why the AAP has not been able to make a dent. People in the State are inclined towards the Congress for more than one reason.”
- In 2022, before the Himachal Pradesh Assembly elections, he said that Congress would win in Hindu maj0rity state. In an interview, he talked about this and said,
Congress party is going to form government in a place which is a Hindu majority state, people have rejected BJP’s ideology. Due to the special strategy of Priyanka Gandhi, the BJP lost the election, the Gandhi family does not have a house anywhere in the country, but there is only one place i.e Himachal Pradesh, where Priyanka Gandhi owns a house.”
