Wayanad bypoll: Low voter turnout dampens Congress spirits
Political observers say that the massive turnout of crowd during the campaigns of Priyanka in the constituency is not reflected in the polling.
Congress on Saturday released its ten-point electoral manifesto for the upcoming assembly polls in Himachal Pradesh, with a promise of free electricity for up to 300 units.
Elections in the hill state are scheduled to be held on November 12, and the votes will be counted on December 8. The Congress released its manifesto for the upcoming elections in Himachal Pradesh, in the presence of its senior party observer Bhupesh Baghel.
The 10 guarantees of Congress include the implementation of the Old Pension Scheme, 1 lakh government jobs, as many as 5 lakh jobs for youth, Rs 680 crore Start-up fund for the youth, Rs 1,500 per month to the women, and free electricity up to 300 units of consumption.

While addressing a public gathering in Kangra, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said, “We will cancel the Agnipath scheme when our government will be formed at the Centre. We fulfil whatever we promise. In Chhattisgarh also, we promised for the loan waiver of the farmer and it was implemented.”
In its manifesto, Congress has made assurances to the people of Himachal and asserted that they will bring a change to the lives of farmers here the way they have done in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh.
हिमाचल प्रदेश डेयरी विकास, पशुपालन, मत्स्य पालन करने वाले किसानों के जीवन में परिवर्तन की तरफ कदम बढ़ा रहा है।
