The Congress high command has reportedly called Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh and state party president Sukhvinder Singh Sukkhu to Delhi tomorrow to discuss party affairs in the state.
Singh, who is to appear before a CBI court in a disproportionate assets (DA) case tomorrow, has already reached Delhi. His application for bail is also listed for tomorrow.
Sukkhu is likely to reach the national capital tomorrow and the meeting is expected to take place in the evening.
The development assumes significance in the light of reports that Sukkhu might be replaced as Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee chief.
There are also reports that Singh's supporters have collected signatures of MLAs, who have reposed faith in his leadership and want the party to contest the next Assembly polls under him.
