Later in the day, she addressed a public meeting in Sihuntha in the Bhatiyat assembly segment in favour of party nominee Kuldeep Singh Pathania.
She accused the BJP of not fulfilling the promises made to the people during the 2017 elections. She said that now BJP was trying to mislead the people. She said that the BJP never understood the plight of women and farmers.
“Today unemployment figure in the state has crossed 12 lakh. Pratibha hit out at the government over the police recruitment paper leak. “Constable recruitment paper leak was the corruption of highest order. The people of the state will never forgive the way BJP hoodwinked the youth in the state,” she said while putting the blame squarely on the BJP government for the financial mismanagement in the state. “BJP government has ruined the economy of the state, “she said.
She said BJP has no contribution to the development of the state. “Jai Ram government inaugurated the projects which were started by former chief minister Virbhadra Singh,“ she said.
