Sukhu said that the Congress is a party that gives respect to women. He said that apart from this, the state government has also brought many schemes for women. On the issue of Congress’ spokesperson Supriya Shrinate’s “indecent” remarks against Kangana Ranaut on social media, Himachal Pradesh chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said that Kangana is the daughter of Himachal Pradesh.
Pratibha had refused to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections a few days ago citing that the ground situation was “not favourable” and the party workers “were not active”. Both Sukhu and Pratibha put up a united face before the workers and mediapersons at Oakover.
After it was known that the Election Commission would announce poll dates, the Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu government went into an overdrive announcing projects worth crores of rupees and approved appointments in the government just before the model code of conduct for Lok Sabha elections kicked in.
Over the past two weeks, Sukhu has conducted at least five visits to the district, covering 8 of the total 15 assembly constituencies in Kangra. During these visits, he dedicated developmental projects worth hundreds of crores. The constituencies he visited include Nagrota-Bagwan, Dehra, Baijnath, Indora, Fatehpur, Palampur, Jaisinghpur, and Sullah.
Himachal chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Thursday without naming anyone said that a former Congress minister and an MLA from Kangra belt played anchor’s role in cross-voting during Rajya Sabha polls and betraying the government.
