New Delhi: Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will be addressing eight more rallies and roadshows in poll-bound Himachal Pradesh.

The Congress leader will be in Mandi and Kullu districts on 31 October. She will also visit Kangra and Chamba on 3 November, Hamirpur and Una on 7 November.

On 10 November, the Congress General Secretary will hold rallies and roadshows in Shimla and Sirmaur.

Earlier on 14 October, Priyanka Gandhi kick-started the election campaign from Solan for the state assembly polls. She addressed 'Parivartan Pratigya Rally'.

During her address, Vadra said that if the party is voted to power in the forthcoming Himachal Pradesh assembly elections, a decision will be taken on restoring the old pension scheme in the first meeting of the cabinet.

The Congress leader said a decision will also be taken at the cabinet meeting to provide one lakh government jobs.

She targeted the BJP government in the state and alleged that it has done nothing for youth, employees and women.

"You should think about your future. BJP doesn't have money for pensions but they can waive off loans of their big businessmen. They have nothing for youth, employees and women. Government posts are lying vacant for the last five years," Priyanka Gandhi said.

"I am giving you a guarantee today that after forming the government here, two major decisions will be taken in the first cabinet meeting. First is to give one lakh government jobs and the second is to implement the old pension scheme (OPS)," she added.

The state will go to the polls on 12 November and the counting of votes will be held on 8 December. (with ANI inputs)
