Cong ‘misguiding’ people Mandi, December 31 Addressing a rally at Karsog on the conclusion of the “Vishwas Yatra” in the interior of this district, he said Congress leaders were disturbed over the performance of the government and to cover up their own failure were misguiding the people. He said in response to the demand of people the increase in electricity and water charges had been withdrawn. He said the ugly scenes by warring factions of the Congress at public meetings of Ms Mohsina Kidwai, AICC general secretary and in charge of Himachal, indicated the frustration among Congress workers in the state. Referring to the development of Karsog, the Chief Minister said his government completed the buildings of the degree college and the IPH office in record time. A number of new offices were opened to speed up development there. A network of roads was being built to take fruit and vegetables to markets from there. A plan had been drawn up to promote tourism in the valley by linking the Kulu-Manali circuit to Shimla via Karsog. The recently appointed ADC at Sundernagar would sit at Karsog for 15 days, he said.
