SHIMLA — Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Sunday said she met all leaders of the Congress party in Himachal Pradesh and was "proud" of their unity and determination to fight the elections strongly.
“On one side, there is the BJP’s empire of fear, greed and lies. There is politics that destroys democracy for power through money power and agencies. On the other, the Congress has the resolve to work tirelessly for the people with truth, courage and patience,” she wrote on X in Hindi.
Saying she has full faith that the people will support the Congress, she added, “The truth will win. Hail Himachal. Hail India.”
आज पूरे विपक्ष पर हमला हो रहा है। दो-दो मुख्यमंत्री जेल में हैं। मोदी जी कहते हैं कि यह भ्रष्टाचार पर वार है लेकिन सारी पार्टियों के सब भ्रष्टाचारी अपनी पार्टी में इकट्ठा कर रहे हैं। उनकी पार्टी में जाते ही वही नेता स्वच्छ हो जाते हैं।

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has given tickets to all six Congress rebels, who had supported it in the Rajya Sabha elections, for the June 1 Assembly bypoll simultaneous with four Lok Sabha seats.
The candidates are Sudhir Sharma from Dharamsala, Rajinder Rana from Sujanpur, Ravi Thakur from Lahaul-Spiti, Inder Dutt Lakhanpal from Barsar, Chaitanya Sharma from Gagret and Devender Bhutto from Kutlehar.
These seats fell vacant due to the disqualification of the legislators for defying the party whip while passing the state budget. Chief Minister Sukhvinder Sukhu has said he was not afraid of “conspiracies” being hatched against him. He accused the BJP of attempting to destabilise the elected government.
