Himachal Pradesh Assembly polls 2022: From Old Pension Scheme to Uniform Civil Code, unemployment to water shortage - top issues in hill state

Key issues in Himachal Pradesh: The saffron party, which is banking high on the ‘Narendra Modi’ factor, has been insisting throughout its high-voltage election campaign that "continuity" is key to development, while the main opposition party Congress has said the assembly battle will be fought on local issues. The state is clearly witnessing a multi-cornered fight between the political parties and key challengers on the issues of common man especially the Old Pension Scheme, implementation of Uniform Civil Code, unemployment and high rate of inflation in the hilly state.
