Additionally, he mentioned that the government would transfer ₹1,500 monthly to the accounts of 10,000 women starting June 25.

The Congress party has united its factions to support Kamlesh Thakur’s candidacy in the bypolls. Meanwhile, BJP candidate Hoshiyar Singh, backed by former CM Jai Ram Thakur and BJP MP Anurag Thakur, also submitted his nomination with a significant show of support.

He also called for Sukhu to address serious allegations made by HPCC treasurer Rajesh Sharma.
