Shimla, July 23 (PTI) Former Himachal Pradesh BJP president and Member of Parliament Suresh Kashyap on Wednesday hit out at the state government over its Cabinet’s decision to postpone the reservation roster for the urban local body (ULB) elections.
He alleged that the state government is trying to override a constitutional institution by “suppressing and reversing” the decision made by the State Election Commission, which is a high-level constitutional body.
Kashyap, in a press statement, claimed that the actions of the government indicate that ministers and Congress leaders have realised that due to their policies, they are likely to face a “massive defeat” in the upcoming elections for Panchayati Raj institutions and urban local bodies.
“As a result, instead of facing the public’s verdict, the Congress-led government has chosen to postpone these elections” he said. PTI COR MNK MNK
