Himachal polls: Is corruption an election issue?
The campaign fever is peaking in Himachal Pradesh with just days to go before campaigning ends on Friday at 5pm. And in the midst of the election rallies and door-to-door campaigns is Sukhram, the country's former telecom minister who was also convicted on corruption charges in the 1996 telecom scam and sentenced to three years in jail. He's lending his voice for his son, Anil Sharma's campaign, who is a Congress candidate. What's astonishing, though, is that while Mr Sukhram is busy here, he has managed to evade court appearances for months, claiming he's unwell.
