Chandigarh: Ahead of the Congress’ January 3 Jan Aabhar Rally, Shahpur MLA Kewal Singh Pathania said a grand event will be organised at Dharamshala.
Pathania said, Himachal CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu would be visiting Kangra for the first time in capacity of the state’s chief minister. “The rally is being organised to express gratitude to the people of Kangra for their mandate in the assembly elections. The local administration has been asked to make elaborate arrangements for the event.”
Congress had stormed to power with 40 seats in the assembly elections. In the politically significant Kangra, which sends 15 legislators to the 68-member house, the Congress won 10 seats.
Ahead of the rally, party workers were assigned duties in 29 meetings held across 15 blocks in the district.
Pathania said he was indebted to people of Shahpur who elected a common man as their MLA, despite two heavyweight opponents joining hands to defeat him.
