Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh today said some Congressmen were working against the party and helping opponents and warned that black sheep would be identified and acted against.
"Whenany member of opposition wins time and again from any constituency, it indicates that it was not possible without the help of a few leaders within the party(Congress) who play politics behind the curtain," Singh said at a public meeting at Kotla Kalan in Kutlehar constituency of Una district.
In spite of the fact that Kutlehar had witnessed "lot of development" in the past noCongress candidate had won from the constituency in the last 35 years.
Similar, a situation prevails in Una constituency where Congress has failed to win in the past 15 years.
Saying he had identified such "black sheep" of the party in Kutlehar and Una constituencies, Singh warned that working against the party would not be tolerated and if anyone wants to join the opponents, he was "free to do so".
The Chief Minister said BJP leaders in Una were not such "big-wigs" that they cannot be defeated but they were winning polls because some Congressmen were "helping" them.
He exhorted the newly elected panchayat representatives to work sincerely for one and all irrespective of political affiliation and said adequate funds would be provided to panchayats for development.
Industries and Information and Public Relations Minister Mukesh Agnihotri claimed that the state BJP leaders in collusion with a union minister have been hatching plans against the Chief Minister for past three years but their ulterior motives did not fructify.
