*Born on March 27, 1964, at Bhavarna village of Nadaun in Hamirpur district, Sukhu studied law at Himachal Pradesh University, Shimla. His father Rasil Singh was a driver with the state roadways. As a student, he had to work multiple jobs to supplement the family’s income. After the news came in that he would become the CM, his mother recalled to reporters how Sukhu was more inclined towards continuing his education rather than working at a young age.
Sukhu was appointed chief of the state unit of the National Students Union of India, the Congress party’s student wing in 1989. He went on to lead the state unit of the Youth Congress (1998-2008), got elected as a councillor twice (1992-2002) before entering the Vidhan Sabha as an MLA in 2003, and then lead the state Congress committee (2013-2019).
