Shimla: Cracks in the Himachal Pradesh BJP have begun to show, party members are getting increasingly discontented with their leaders. Sadhu Ram, who was elected a year ago from the Garret (SC) constituency of Una, and a minister in the Shanta Kumar ministry, was the first to expose the unrest. He has since been replaced by Dile Ram, who represents the Nacham (SC) segment of Mandi district. The resignation of Balak Ram from the post of the vice-president of the BJP charging Shanta Kumar with making “certain remarks to humiliate members of my community” has further complicated matters.
The members were against the party since last year when BJP leaders supported the anti-Mandal agitators. (Times of India, July 3).
