		CHAMBA, Oct 9 — The Himachal Vikas Congress (HVC) has taken a strong exception to a recent statement by the BJP President, Mr Kushabhau Thakeray, describing Mr Sukh Ram "a compulsion in Himachal Pradesh for the BJP" as reported in a section of the Press.
		Himachal Pradesh is one of the major apple growing states occupying 83,000 hectares area and produces 394 thousands tonnes of fruit.
		While inaugurating the seminar, Himachal Horticulture Minister, Narender Bragta, called upon the scientists of the university to gear up research programme as per the requirements of the orchardists of the state and transfer of the improved technology to grassroots level in collaboration with the state Department of Horticulture.

		And thrown in between is the HVC chief Sukh Ram, who was hoping for an alliance with either of the two national parties and had made his preference for the Congress(I), the party from which he had broken away, rather clear.
		The HVC, entering the fray for the second time after its formation in 1997, could mar the prospects of both the BJP and the Congress(I) as disappointed ticket aspirants from both parties may contest on an HVC platform, if not as independents.
		Mitra Milan is led by the former MLA from Solan, Mahendra Sofat, and by Narender Thakur, son of Thakur Jagdeo, a prominent BJP leader.

		SHIMLA, April 27 — Two senior Congress leaders, Mr Gangu Ram Musafir and Mr Raghu Raj, have alleged that an attempt is being made to tarnish the image of the party by certain elements who are claiming that there was chaos at the Panchayati Raj seminar organised by the PCC at Baddi on April 19.
		Mr Bali said the HVC was equally to be blamed for the anti-people decisions of the Dhumal government.
		The two leaders claimed that the opponents of the Congress were in because of the success of the seminar and were, therefore, trying to spread false reports of chaos and vandalism.

	HVC to contest only one seat - The Times of India (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Needless to say that HVC has decided to field a candidate from the Mandi parliamentary segment, which comprises Mandi district, the home turf of former union telecom minister and party supremo Sukh Ram, and a constituency that he has represented in the past.
		Though party sources maintained that the doors were still open for negotiations with either the Congress or the BJP for an alliance, but with the deadline for the elections drawing near, the party had to gear its rank and file for contesting the election, which was why the meeting of Mar 4 had been called.
		And though it is felt that with most of the HVC stalwarts, even of Mandi district having quit the party, it may not be that easy for the party supremo to win, but he could definitely be a spoilsport, more so for the Congress candidate.

		Kidwai and a section of the state Congress leadership, led by PCC chief Vidya Stokes, are keen on an alliance.
		The Congress’ move to build the poll campaign around a corruption chargesheet against the BJP government of P.K. Dhumal would make little sense if the party went with Sukh Ram, Singh is believed to have pointed out.
