Kewal Singh Pathania, the first-time Congress legislator from Shahpur in Kangra district was today appointed as Congress Chief Whip in the Vidhan Sabha.
The appointment of Pathania is being viewed as a bid to placate Congress legislators and adjust majority of the MLAs by giving them political appointments. The post of Chief Whip and Deputy Chief Whip in the Vidhan Sabha had been lying vacant despite the formation of the Congress regime almost 14 months back.
