Mandi, June 28
HPCC president Pratibha Singh today urged party workers in Lahaul and Spiti district to gear up for the upcoming Assembly elections in the state.
Pratibha, while addressing a public meeting at Keylong, said, “Inflation has increased manifold during the BJP rule in the state and at the Centre. The governments have done little to provide jobs to the youth and unemployment has increased sharply”.
She added, “Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur is inaugurating development projects, which were started by former Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh. The Atal Tunnel on the Manali-Leh highway is also the achievement of the previous Congress government”.
She said, “It was the Congress that took the initiative to start this ambitious project to provide all-weather connectivity to the people of the Lahaul valley. Earlier, the residents of the Lahaul valley remained cut off from the rest of the state for almost six months every year due to heavy snowfall”.
She asked Congress activists to work hard to ensure the victory of the party in the Assembly elections. She was accompanied by former Lahaul and Spiti MLA Ravi Thakur and other local leaders.
