High Drama In Himachal As Congress Delays Naming Chief Minister

In a fresh twist to the Himachal Pradesh crowning saga, state Congress president Pratibha Singh is out of the race to be Chief Minister, sources have said. Her supporters have mobbed the hotel where the party's central observers are staying, and are raising slogans in her support. They had even stopped the car of Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, one of the central observers, yesterday before the party's crucial meeting, and asserted their support for Pratibha Singh.
