Himachal urban poll results reflect public confidence in Congress; party united with no groupism, says CM Sukhu

Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh, attributed the Congress-backed candidates' victory in recent urban local body elections to public approval of the party's governance. He highlighted the sustained popularity despite anti-incumbency pressures and emphasized a unified effort among party workers. He also criticized the BJP for its perceived lack of support for Himachal Pradesh, particularly regarding issues like the Revenue Deficit Grant and natural disasters. Sukhu asserted that the Congress has fulfilled its promises and exceeded expectations in delivering on commitments such as welfare schemes and reforms in education and healthcare.
