Former Himachal Pradesh Congress Seva Dal chief and a Virbhadra Singh loyalist to Baldev Singh Thakur today accused HPCC president Sukhvinder Singh Sukkhu of promoting factionalism in the party.
Thakur, who had floated "Virbhadra Brigade" and was expelled from the party said Sukkhu as Youth Congress president had encouraged factionalism in the party andas HPCC chief also he had created divisions.
Thakur said he was expelled from the party without being served a notice and given an opportunity to reply.
He had also filed a defamation case against the HPCC chief.
"Congress is like my home and he would be happy to return to the party but would not withdraw the defamation case against Sukkhu," he said.
After revocation of expulsion of former minister Satya Prakash Thakur yesterday, other expelled leaders were also hopeful of rejoining the party in the run up for Assembly polls.
However, rift between HPCC president and Virbhadra Singh was widening.
