Addressing a press conference at Rajiv Bhawan, Himachal Congress’ headquarters, Chauhan said that the party was gearing up for the Lok Sabha elections in 2024 and a “crucial meeting’ was scheduled on January 16. The Congress aims to secure victory on all four Lok Sabha seats in Himachal, added Chauhan.

He highlighted various developmental works being taken up by the current government led by chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu.
