In a twist to the burgeoning discord between former Vice-President of the Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee (HPCC) Neeraj Bharti and the state's Congress leadership, Bharti's Facebook account has been blocked, just a day after his resignation. The HPCC promptly accepted Bharti's resignation, signaling a deepening rift within the party.

Bharti, known for his open criticism of both the state and party leadership, had voiced his grievances through social media, alleging inefficiencies in the government led by Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu. Son of Himachal's Agriculture Minister Chander Kumar, Bharti has been a vocal figure, his resignation adding fuel to the ongoing turmoil within the Congress cadre.

The circumstances surrounding the blocking of his Facebook account remain shrouded in mystery. Whether due to policy violations or external complaints, this development has ignited widespread political discourse. Meanwhile, Kangra District Congress Committee President Anurag Sharma's show-cause notice to Bharti underscores the escalating disciplinary friction. Bharti has been urged to respond within ten days to avert further action.
