Himachal Pradesh Congress unit president Pratibha Singh, MP, has urged the Election Commission of India (ECI) to declare the date of elections in the state and implement the Model Code of Conduct immediately.
She alleged that less than two months are left for the tenure of the BJP government in the state but the ruling party is openly misusing the power and the government machinery for its political gains.
Expressing concern over spending crores of rupees on the hospitality of BJP central ministers and leaders at the cost of the state’s exchequer, Pratibha Singh said that the Election Commission should take cognizance of this and immediately stop the misuse of government money and machinery.
