Manifesto out, Congress banks on ‘freebies’ for Himachal polls

The Hindu  

The Indian National Congress, which is aiming to wrest power in the State on Saturday released its party manifesto for the Himachal Pradesh Assembly election, slated for November 12. Betting its fortune on ‘freebies’ in an attempt to garner support ahead of the Assembly elections, the party promised free electricity up to 300 units monthly to all households and financial assistance of ₹1,500 monthly to women between 18 to 60 years of age. Congress party in charge for Himachal Pradesh, Rajeev Shukla, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, party’s campaign committee chairman Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu and Congress state president Pratibha Singh jointly released the manifesto in Shimla. Replying to a query about the party’s Chief Ministerial candidate, Mr. Shukla said elections in Himachal Pradesh are being fought under collective leadership.
