Vishal Rana/ Hamirpur 
Following the submission of his nomination from the Hamirpur parliamentary seat, congress candidate Satpal Raijada, orchestrated a grand rally at the Dosarka Police Ground in Hamirpur. The meticulous groundwork by the Congress for this rally is bearing fruit, with over thousands enthusiastic party workers participating. It’s a significant moment as Congress gears up seriously for the elections after almost two decades. While the rally has uplifted the morale of Congress supporters, it has also compelled the Bharatiya Janata Party to reconsider its strategy.
Congress candidate Satpal Raijada from the Hamirpur parliamentary constituency emphasized that the Congress government has ensured equitable development in Himachal Pradesh and stressed that the upcoming battle is for the future. He criticized the deception perpetrated upon the youth akin to the Agnivir scheme and accused the central government of jeopardizing the future of their children. He declared the upcoming contest as a fight for the future, leaving the outcome in the hands of the voters.
Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihotri highlighted the relentless pace of Satpal Rajyada’s campaign, suggesting that it won’t halt until it reaches Delhi. He noted the unprecedented participation of women in today’s rally, signaling a significant shift. Allegations of conspiracies to topple the state government were raised, pointing fingers at the incumbent leaders from the Hamirpur constituency. Urging support for their candidate, he emphasized the local connections of both the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister.
Congress State President Pratibha Singh lamented the lack of support from any Himachal Pradesh MPs during the recent disaster, highlighting a disconnect with the Prime Minister despite meetings. She accused the Modi government of neglecting the state’s needs and credited the state government, led by Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukkhu, for aiding every individual during the crisis.
Himachal Pradesh in-charge Rajiv Shukla predicted a favorable outcome for the Congress from the Hamirpur parliamentary seat. Prominent leaders including Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Congress Party President Mallikarjun Kharge, and Priyanka Gandhi expressed solidarity with the people of Hamirpur. Asserting the significance of this decision, they called for sending Satpal Raijada to Delhi as the voice of the entire district.
Chief Minister Sukkhu asserted that a Congress government never compromises with vested interests, indirectly pointing fingers at the opposition. He criticized the incumbent MLA for Sujanpur, alleging financial greed and promised a fair investigation into allegations of corruption. He praised the Congress for honoring their commitment to a candidate, highlighting the party’s integrity.
During this event, senior Congress leaders including Thakur Ramlal, Congress candidate from Sujanpur Captain Ranjit Rana, KC Bank Chairman Kuldeep Singh Pathania, Hamirpur Congress leader Dr. Pushpendra Varma, former National President of Women’s Congress and ex-MLA Anita Verma, along with a substantial number of supporters from Bilaspur and Una districts, were present.
This massive gathering has not only boosted the morale of the Congress party and its workers but also sent a clear message to the opposition. The BJP, which may have previously considered this seat an easy win, will now have to reconsider its strategy in light of the overwhelming support demonstrated for Congress.
