The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday stepped up its campaign for the upcoming municipal corporation elections in Himachal Pradesh by assigning former Union Minister and MP Anurag Thakur to campaign for party candidates in Kangra and Dharamshala on Thursday.
BJP leaders believe that Anurag Thakur has a strong support base in Himachal, especially among youth and party workers. His participation is likely to further strengthen the party’s position in the municipal elections.
According to the party schedule, Anurag will attend a local programme at Pandol Road in Baijnath, Kangra district on Thursday. He will also address a public rally at the Community Hall in Kotwali Bazaar, Dharamshala at 5 pm.
According to BJP leaders, the municipal election campaign is gathering momentum due to active participation from senior state and national leaders, which is encouraging party workers. Preparations for Thakur’s public meetings in Dharamshala and nearby areas have also been increased.
Party leaders said the BJP is focusing on issues like development, transparency, and improved urban facilities in its outreach. They also highlighted the achievements of the Central government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The party further claimed that people are unhappy with the functioning of the Congress government in the Dharamshala Municipal Corporation and other urban local bodies. Leaders said this is creating a favourable atmosphere for the BJP. They added that Anurag Thakur’s campaign is likely to bring fresh energy to party workers ahead of the polls.
