Himachal govt's diktat to street vendors stirs a storm in Cong

The decision by the Himachal government to implement the mandatory display of outlet owner's details in line with the Yogi Adityanath government's decision has caused significant discontent among minority leaders of the party, sources said.

According to sources, these leaders will soon present their grievances to the party high command.

During the Kanwar Yatra when the UP government had passed a dkitat to make it mandatory for vendors to display their names several Congress leaders including Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi and general secretary Priyanka Gandhi had voiced their opposition to the decision by posting on X.

Later, when the Supreme Court in July stayed the UP government's diktat, everyone praised the judgment.

Now, there is discontent within the rank and file of the party on how this could have happened in a state like Himachal Pradesh where the Congress is in power.
