Buoyed over by its win in the recently held Assembly election in Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh, the Congress party has stepped up its efforts to pose a challenge to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party-led government in Haryana.
Ahead of the Haryana Assembly and parliamentary elections due in 2024, the Congress, the main Opposition party in the State, has started reaching out to people through different campaigns and ‘guarantees’ in a bid to take the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party-Jannayak Janata Party alliance head-on.
On the lines of Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka, the party is all set to try its luck surrounding issues such as the restoration of the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) for government employees. Besides, it is betting its fortune on ‘freebies’ in an attempt to garner support ahead of the election.
