I am someone who has walked a path filled with struggles and aspirations, as one of you.
In my earlier days as a journalist, I witnessed the challenges faced by our people. It was then that the seeds of change were sown within me. I made a choice – to step into politics, not for power, but to serve. To be a voice for those whose voices weren’t heard.
My journey has been a journey of commitment, of perseverance, and of love for this incredible state.
Today, I am representative of your dreams, your aspirations, and your hopes. My pledge to you remains unwavering – to work tirelessly to make Himachal Pradesh a better place for all.
Together, we can overcome any challenge, scale any peak, and make our state even more beautiful, both in its natural splendor and in the lives of its people.
