Himachal Pradesh Elections 2022

Top Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi, his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra attended the oath taking ceremony of the new Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, and his deputy -- Mukesh Agnihotri -- at Ridge Maidan in Shimla on Sunday.

After nearly four decades of his loyalty for the Congress, Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has been chosen as Himachal's Chief Minister, though rivals will get significant positions for balance.
