With the Parliamentary election and crucial byelections in Himachal Pradesh drawing near, the ruling Congress party has sharpened its attack on the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP), as both parties are embroiled in a direct electoral battle in the hill State.
Hitting out at the BJP, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on May 10 accused the previous Chief Minister and at present the Leader of the Opposition Jairam Thakur of playing politics of ‘regional bias’ and ‘corruption’ during the BJP regime.
Mr. Sukhu, who accompanied Congress candidate Satpal Raizada for submission of his nomination papers for the Hamirpur Lok Sabha seat, addressed a rally in Hamirpur, where he alleged the previous BJP regime of being involved in “huge corruption”.
