Especially for the organization general secretary and treasurer, he can put the name of his supporter before the party high command.

Party sources say that CM Sukhu can put forward the name of Prem Kaushal for the post of Organization General Secretary or he can also give consent to the name of the current Organization General Secretary Rajneesh Kimta. Pratibha Singh has also met Rajiv Shukla and discussed the coronation of the leaders of her faction.

Congress National President Kharge has dissolved the state, district and block executive of Congress in Himachal last month. Now only the state president Pratiksha Singh is left as the sole officer in the state Congress. Hence a new executive has to be formed. This work has to be done by the party high command after discussion with the state Congress leaders.
