Himachal assembly by-polls: Congress announces candidates for 3 seats
The by-polls in six Assembly constituencies in the state are scheduled to be held on June 1 along with the Lok Sabha elections.
Upping the ante on the SYL issue, the Punjab Congress on Friday announced a massive action plan to protest against the Badal government’s failure to protect the interests of Punjab on the SYL issue, even as party MLAs, shouting anti-Modi and anti-Badal slogans, formally tendered their resignations from the state Assembly.
The Congress Legislative Party (CLP) met at the Assembly to discuss the fallout of the Supreme Court verdict on the SYL matter and decided on its plan of action to rescue the people of Punjab from the crisis resulting from the court judgement.
Congress leaders and workers will burn effigies of Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal in all the 117 Assembly segments of the state on Saturday, while on Sunday, the party will hold a rally at Abohar – the tail-end of the SYL canal – to highlight the Akalis’ mishandling of the case in the court, causing untold misery to the people of Punjab.

The CLP entrusted the task of organizing the rally, which will be attended by all party MPs and MLAs from Punjab, to PPCC vice president Sunil Jakhar.
