I have taken a well-thought out decision to take the Congress forward in Himachal Pradesh," said Ram at the joining function at the AICC with Congress in-charge of the state Rajiv Shukla flanking him along with a couple of AICC secretaries. Ram, a two-time ex-MLA was also a minister and deputy speaker earlier, has been sulking ever since he was denied a ticket by the BJP in 2017 state polls.
