Ahead of the Assembly elections of Himachal Pradesh, which are due later this year, the political outreach of parties including the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the Congress, and the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) have started to gain momentum in the hill state.
A day after BJP national president J.P. Nadda held a roadshow in State’s politically significant Kangra district, the Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday also held a rally in Kangra’s Shahpur. The Congress party members also held a ‘foot-march’ in the Harchakian town of the district, raising the pitch of electioneering in the State.
While Mr. Kejriwal sought a chance from voters in Himachal Pradesh ahead of the Assembly polls, promising that AAP will give an honest government in the State, the Congress members, led by senior party leader and general secretary Kewal Singh Pathania staged a protest against rising inflation, unemployment, corruption among other issues.
