Campaigning picks up in poll bound Himachal Pradesh

Shimla, October 31: Congress President Sonia Gandhi says Congress has done a lot to fight corruption while BJP is not serious on the issue

In Himachal Pradesh, campaigning is in top gear for the poll bound state.

The polling for assembly elections in Himachal Pradesh is scheduled to take place on November 4.

Congress President Sonia Gandhi addressed an election rally in Shimla.

She said that the Centre is taking every possible step to deal with rising inflation.

Gandhi sai that in the Congress ruled states, the subsidised cap on gas cylinders has been increased in order to provide relief to the common man.

Meanwhile, BJP President Nitin Gadkari has cancelled his planned trip to poll-bound Himachal Pradesh.

Sources close to Gadkari said the cancellation was necessitated since he will be closeted with his legal advisors to discuss the possible legal notice to a section of media over carrying on a "villification" campaign against him based on "untrue and unsusbtantiated" allegations.

Gadkari had addressed election rallies in Kinnaur and Shimla last Saturday.
