Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) [India], February 11 : Himachal Pradesh State Congress Chief Pratibha Virbhadra Singh asserted that the party workers who have worked hard must be awarded positions ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
"Some party workers have worked day and night. I feel such people must be awarded some position," she said.
