Will go in front Privatization of BJP and Congress, making services costlier, contract practice, non-filling of vacant posts of employees and attack on the autonomy of Municipal Corporation, etc. will remain the main issues and development of Shimla city on the basis of alternative policies in Municipal Corporation under the leadership of CPM. Will make it an election issue to give new dimensions. *After 2012, under the leadership of CPM, the privatization of drinking water was stopped by the Municipal Corporation and an important plan to improve its supply was to get the project approved by the World Bank, fighting in the High Court to get the Smart City project approved for Shimla, Amrut project, Preparation of city mobility plan for ropeway and alternative transport, a project for beautification of Shimla city, parking, park, sports ground, installation of modern waste to the power plant, book cafe and other projects, public participation in the development of the city.
