The Opposition MLAs demonstrated by placing baskets of cow dung on their heads. During this, the LoP asked the government when the purchase of cow dung included in the guarantees of ₹2 per kg started.

Leader of Opposition Jai Ram Thakur said the guarantees given by the government before coming to power have now become a noose for the government. Before coming to power, the Congress government of Himachal had promised to buy cow dung at ₹2 per kg from the farmers of the state, but even after a year has passed, the government has still not fulfilled this guarantee.

Jai Ram Thakur said the Opposition will keep reminding the government about the guarantees and the public is also not going to forget the guarantees. He said the Opposition would ask questions to the government regarding all the guarantees one by one.
