Shimla, Oct 12 , 2025

Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi on Sunday reached the Himachal Pradesh capital to participate in the unveiling of the statue of party stalwart Virbhadra Singh, who was at the helm of the state for a record six times.

The statue will be set at the Daulat Singh Park on the historic Ridge.

Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Sukhu along with Cabinet colleagues welcomed Sonia Gandhi upon her arrival in Shimla.

The statue’s unveiling was initially planned on Virbhadra Singh’s birth anniversary on June 23, but was postponed due to the pre-occupation of party’s leadership.

The invitation for the ceremony was extended by Public Works Minister Vikramaditya Singh, son of the late leader and the Chairman of the Raja Virbhadra Singh Foundation.
