Pratibha Singh's supporters gathered outside Oberoi Cecil in Shimla and stopped the convoy of Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel.
In a sign of growing trouble for the Congress after its victory in Himachal Pradesh, party workers blocked the convoy of one of their own leaders today in a show of support for Pratibha Singh, who is a frontrunner for Chief Minister.
Pratibha Singh's supporters gathered outside Oberoi Cecil in Shimla and stopped the convoy of Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, one of the central leaders sent to Himachal Pradesh to decide on a Chief Minister.
In a video, the workers were seen surrounding Mr Baghel's car and raising slogans in favour of Pratibha Singh, a Congress MP who led the party's Himachal Pradesh campaign but didn't contest the polls.
Hours before the Congress's big meeting to decide on its Chief Minister for Himachal Pradesh, a state it won yesterday, one of the frontrunners staked her claim to the job with a sharp reminder to the Gandhis.
