Himachal Pradesh's Dehra Assembly Bypoll: A Battle of Principles and Politics

Kamlesh Thakur, wife of Himachal Pradesh CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, filed her nomination for Dehra assembly bypoll, branding herself a 'daughter of Dehra.' Alongside, Pushpendra Verma and Hoshiyar Singh also submitted their papers. The by-elections will occur on July 10 following the vacancies left by Independent MLAs who joined BJP.

In a significant political move, Kamlesh Thakur, spouse of Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, confidently filed her nomination for the Dehra assembly bypoll, proudly declaring herself as the 'daughter of Dehra.'

Notable leaders like Pushpendra Verma and former Independent MLA Hoshiyar Singh also entered the fray, submitting their nominations. The deadline for the Dehra, Hamirpur, and Nalagarh assembly bypolls ended last Friday.

Thakur emphasized her deep-rooted connection with Dehra, expressing her confidence in gaining the people's support. The by-election, scheduled for July 10, comes after three Independent MLAs resigned and subsequently joined the BJP.

Addressing a rally in Dehra, CM Sukhu criticized BJP candidate Hoshiyar Singh and other independents, accusing them of political opportunism. Meanwhile, BJP leaders, including Jai Ram Thakur, countered with their own allegations against the Congress, highlighting issues of misuse of power.
