Attacking Congress at a public address in Himachal Pradesh’s Solan on Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that during the grand old party’s rule in the state, there were various groups that had a vested interest in unstable governments.
He further said that small states were the target of such self-centered groups. These groups worked only for their own interests, he added. Moreover, he accused it of neglecting Himachal Pradesh as it was a small state that sends only four MPs to Lok Sabha and playing with many lives by indulging in corruption in defence deals.
During his address, Modi emphasized that the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) has a vision for the next 25 years for the state. He further added that when Congress was in power there were various groups that had a vested interest in unstable govts. “Small states were the target of such self-centered groups. These groups worked only for their own interests,” PM Modi.
Stressing that every single vote cast on November 12 will define the development journey of the hill state for the next 25 years, Modi, at an election rally here, urged the people to start a new tradition by voting back the BJP into power to ensure stability and progress.
With the state having the precedent of the incumbent being voted out, Modi said whenever Congress came back, all development works came to a standstill. Changing medicines frequently neither helps in curing the ailment nor benefits anyone, he warned, while seeking another term for the ruling BJP.
Earlier in the day, he had addressed a rally in Sundar Nagar town of Mandi district to campaign for BJP in the Himachal Pradesh assembly polls which are scheduled for November 12.
“The Himachal polls this time are special because the votes cast on November 12 are not just for the coming five years. Every single vote on November 12 will define the state’s development journey for the next 25 years,” Modi said at a poll rally at Sundernagar in Mandi district.
