Party is leaving nothing to chance ahead of the Assembly election
Buoyed over its performance in the recently concluded Assembly and parliamentary byelections in different States, the Congress in Himachal Pradesh is leaving nothing to chance ahead of the Assembly election, which is due in 2022. The party has set the ball rolling by increasing the tempo of its electioneering.
To ensure that it continues with its winning streak, the Congress, led by State president Kuldeep Singh Rathore, has kick-started a State-wide padayatra and jan jagran programme to consolidate its support base across all the 68 Assembly constituencies.
In an attempt to strengthen the party, especially in those constituencies where it is relatively weak, the party president has started a padayatra to understand the weak points of the party in the constituencies and prepare a political strategy to beef up electoral prospects. As a part of the jan jagran programme, current and former MLAs of the party across the State have started to reach out to the public to make then aware of the Congress’s ideology and polices, while also exposing the misdeeds of the BJP Government in the State and at the Centre.
