Vikramaditya Singh: A Political Profile
Vikramaditya Singh stands as one of Himachal Pradesh’s prominent political figures and a key leader in the Congress party. As the son of late former Chief Minister Veer Bhadra Singh and current State Congress President Pratibha Singh, politics runs in his blood.
Currently serving as Cabinet Minister for Public Works Department (PWD) and Urban Development in the Himachal Pradesh government, Singh represents the Shimla Rural constituency in the state assembly.
Educational Background
Singh’s educational journey began at Bishop Cotton School in Himachal Pradesh. He subsequently pursued his undergraduate studies in History from Hansraj College, Delhi University, before earning his Master’s degree in History from London, showcasing his commitment to academic excellence.
Political Journey
Singh’s political career commenced in 2013 when he became the President of Himachal Pradesh Youth Congress. His electoral success began in 2017 when he first won the Shimla Rural assembly seat, a victory he repeated in 2022.
Following the 2022 assembly elections, he was appointed as Minister for Public Works Department, Youth Services, and Sports in the Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu government. Later, he was assigned additional responsibility for the Urban Development Department.
Recent Political Developments
The 2024 Lok Sabha elections saw Singh contesting from the Mandi constituency, where he faced a high-profile battle against BJP’s Kangana Ranaut. Despite a spirited campaign, he was defeated in the election.
Singh’s political journey has not been without controversy. In 2024, during the Rajya Sabha elections, he staged a rebellion and offered to resign from his ministerial position, creating instability within the Congress government in Himachal Pradesh. However, he later withdrew his resignation, restoring stability to the state government.
Previous Marriage
Singh’s first marriage took place on March 8, 2019, with Sudarshana Singh from Rajasthan. However, the marriage ended in divorce in 2020 due to irreconcilable differences, making the upcoming ceremony his second venture into matrimony.
Looking Ahead
As Minister Singh prepares for this new chapter in his personal life, his political responsibilities continue unabated. The wedding comes at a time when he remains actively involved in state governance and continues to play a significant role in Himachal Pradesh’s political landscape.
The marriage between the seasoned politician and the accomplished academic is being viewed as a union that brings together political acumen and educational excellence, promising an interesting partnership both personally and potentially in public service.
