Congress will itself contest elections on all four seats Chief Minister Sukhwinder Sukhu, in response to a question regarding the INDIA alliance, said that Congress is good on all four seats and will contest elections on all seats. CM Sukhu said that the disaster in Himachal has caused the worst devastation of the century. But we could not get financial help from the Centre. The Center treated the state step-motherly. He said that Congress will go among the people in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections on issues like inflation, unemployment, and Agniveer recruitment. He said that the Congress party will win all four seats in the state.
Center gave step-motherly treatment to Himachal: Agnihotri Deputy CM Mukesh Agnihotri said that the Center reduced the loan limit of Himachal, stopped the GST reimbursement amount, put a cap on foreign funding projects, cut the budget of the Central schemes. Despite such a big tragedy in the state, the Center did not help Himachal, and the state suffered a loss of Rs 12 thousand crores due to the disaster. Congress party will raise all these issues among the public in the elections.
State Congress President Pratibha Singh said that the government and the organization will contest the elections together. He said that the suggestions of all the leaders will strengthen the party. Now everyone has to go to the field and work.
