Anand Sharma touts 52-year record of public service, launches LS poll campaign in Kangra
Congress's Lok Sabha poll candidate from Kangra Anand Sharma on Saturday highlighted his 52-year career in public service and asserted his deep-rooted connection with Himachal Pradesh, besides talking about his efforts for the development of Kangra and Chamba districts. Hitting out at the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at the Centre, the former Union minister alleged that it has «cheated» the country's youngsters for the last 10 years.
Addressing reporters here, Sharma said, «I have an unblemished career of 52 years in public life and have come here to serve the people of Kangra and Chamba.
»Throughout my tenure in various (Union) ministries, I have focused on the development of Himachal Pradesh, particularly Kangra and Chamba. My consistent participation in major party rallies here and my work with the Youth Congress across all blocks of Kangra and Chamba exemplify my dedication."
Highlighting his Himachali origin and education in Shimla, the 71-year-old Congress leader said while Delhi was his «karmabhoomi» during his ministerial years, Himachal Pradesh has always remained so ever since he entered politics.
