Ruling party covering inflation by raising irrelevant issues Himachal Congress
Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee State President Kuldeep Singh Rathore once again accused the BJP of diverting people’s attention on issues related to public interest including inflation, unemployment and said that BJP is campaigning without issue.
While addressing a press conference at Rajiv Bhawan Shimla, Rathore said that the Congress party is going to the public in the by-elections on important issues like rising inflation, unemployment, problems related to farmers and orchardists. He said that today the people of the country and the state are troubled by inflation.
The prices of food items are skyrocketing. LPG cylinder has crossed one thousand, diesel and petrol have also crossed one hundred rupees mark.
Today the youth is looking for employment opportunities for themselves, but the state government is distributing jobs to outsiders.
So far, the government has been completely insensitive in providing employment to lakhs of unemployed people who have lost their jobs during the Corona period.
The Congress President said that during the campaigning in these by-elections, the BJP, including the Chief Minister, is trying to promote the politics of regionalism.
The Chief Minister keeps chanting the melody of Meri Mandi Mandi time and again, but he should know that the Chief Minister is not only of a particular region but of the entire state.
He said that it has always been the character of BJP that it resorts to regionalism and communalism to divert the attention of voters away from the real issues.
He said that the Chief Minister is fighting a battle to save his self-respect in these by-elections, while the Congress party is exposing the BJP government’s failures and anti-people practices among the people regarding the issues of public interest.
Congress President said that while Dr. YS Parmar played an important role in the formation of Himachal Pradesh, Virbhadra Singh left no stone unturned in taking Himachal forward on the path of development without the politics of regionalism.
Kuldeep Singh Rathore accused the BJP of violating the election model code of conduct and said that the government machinery is being misused by the BJP.
Some officers and employees are working as agents of BJP. He said that many complaints are being sent to the Election Commission on behalf of the Congress party, but the Election Commission has failed to dispose of the complaints impartially.
The State Congress President questioned the conduct of the examination of Panchayat Secretaries that the State Government could have conducted this examination even after the elections were over.
He also raised the question of conducting this examination through the State University and said that it would be appropriate to conduct this examination through the subordinate Staff Selection Commission. Through this examination, he accused the state government of influencing the voters.
