Meet the party leaders in Himachal, proud of their unity: Priyanka Gandhi
Shimla: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Sunday said she has met all the Congress party leaders in Himachal Pradesh and is “proud” of their unity and determination to fight the elections strongly.
“On the one hand, there is the BJP’s empire of fear, greed and lies. There is politics that destroys democracy to power through the power of money and agencies. On the other hand, the Congress has the determination to work tirelessly for the people with truth, courage and patience,” she wrote in X in Hindi.
She said she had full faith that the people would support the Congress, adding, “Truth will prevail. Hail Himachal. Hail India.”
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has given tickets to all six Congress rebels, who supported it in the Rajya Sabha elections, for the June 1 assembly bypoll, coinciding with four Lok Sabha seats.
The candidates are Sudhir Sharma from Dharamsala, Rajinder Rana Sujanpur, Ravi Thakur from Haul-Spiti, Inder Dutt Lakhanpal from Barsar, Chaitanya Sharma from Jagart and Devender Bhutto from Kotalhar.
These seats became vacant due to the disqualification of the legislators for defying the party whip while passing the state budget. Prime Minister Sukhwinder Sokho said he was not afraid of “conspiracies” being hatched against him. He accused the BJP of trying to destabilize the elected government.
