HPCC to launch campaign asking for report cards from BJP MPs

The Himachal Pradesh Congress today decided to launch a campaign asking for report cards from the four BJP MPs in the state.

The decision to launch the campaign with the slogan " MP hisaab de" (MPs give your report card) was taken in a meeting of PCC secretaries and block Congress committee presidents, chaired by state party chief Sukhvinder Singh Sukkhu.

Keeping in view the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, they decided to question the MPs about their achievements and the pending railway projects which either have not been taken up or whose progress is slow, Sukkhu said.

As all four Lok Sabha MPs from the state belong to the saffron party, the HPCC decided to hold workers' conventions in these parliamentary constituencies followed by a state- level workers' convention which would be attended by top party leaders, he said.
 

Through these, the party aims to reach out to people and inform them about the MPs' alleged unfulfilled promises and poor performance, he said.

Sukkhu also asked the government not to close down the schools and colleges opened by the previous Congress government. He also asked how Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur was announcing new projects and schemes when the finances of the government were in a bad shape.

Sukkhu said the Congress would make a comeback after 2019 Lok Sabha polls and added that the BJP's defeat in Rajasthan bypolls in two Lok Sabha seats and one assembly seat was a trendsetter.
