Blames government’s policies for rise in unemployment
Congress leaders and other members on Friday staged a demonstration in Himachal Pradesh’s Dharamshala against the BJP government, accusing it of providing jobs to people from other States. It also blamed the government’s “ill-conceived policies” for a sharp rise in unemployment in the State.
The party leaders also blamed BJP governments, both at the Centre and in the State, for a sharp rise in prices of fuel and domestic gas. Party workers, led by Congress’ state chief Kuldeep Singh Rathore and senior party leader and general secretary Kewal Singh Pathania, held a protest march in the main market of the town.
Addressing the gathering, Mr. Rathore accused the state government of selling government jobs to people from other states.

The Karnataka government on Friday handed over 10 cases related to two incidents that had turned into political flashpoints — the Hubballi woman “disrobing” case and the Ballari firing case in which a Congress worker was killed — to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), a well-placed police source told The Hindu.
