“People of Himachal will not support dishonest people. The Congress Party has been dishonest with the women and youth. Gave a guarantee of giving ₹1,500 per month to women but not even a penny was given,” said Bindal addressing a public meeting at Shimla town’s Chaura Maidan

“People of Himachal will not support dishonest people. The Congress Party has been dishonest with the women and youth. Gave a guarantee of giving ₹1,500 per month to women but not even a penny was given,” said Bindal addressing a public meeting at Shimla town’s Chaura Maidan. “Similarly, one lakh government jobs, annually, were promised to the youth but not a single was given employment,” he said while accusing the chief minister of being unfair towards 20 lakh farmers.
“A guarantee was given to purchase milk at ₹100 per litre and cow dung for ₹2 per kilogram but nothing was done. Also, a promise of 300 units of free electricity to the consumers was made to the consumers but nothing has been done till now,” Bindal accused.
“Congress is once again taking the country to the brink of division. Congress is peddling the issues of caste, colour, racial discrimination and religious discrimination,” said Bindal. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is strongly advocating for minority reservation in the entire country and majoritarianism.
