Modi in Himachal Pradesh: 'Congress and corruption can never separate from each other'

With the polling date just around the corner for Himachal Pradesh, the BJP, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has been holding multiple rallies across the state. The rally was attended by several Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders, including Anurag Thakur, who is the son of former Himachal chief minister Prem Kumar Dhumal.

Addressing an election rally in Himachal Pradesh's Una, Modi said,''Have never seen such enthusiasm for BJP that I am witnessing this time in HP. Its a one-sided contest.''

"This is the first time that we need to say that the election has been fought and won by the people of Himachal Pradesh. People here are ready to teach Congress a lesson," Modi said in Una.

Modi also took potshots at former PM Rajiv Gandhi's statement that one rupee ends up as 15 paise when it reaches villages. Modi said Rajiv was such a doctor who diagnosed the problem of corruption but did not do anything about it. He added that he has made sure that the whole of 100 paise now goes to the pockets of the poor.

Modi also slammed Rajiv Gandhi and his successors for not acting on the benami property law for at least 30 years.

Modi, who is going to address three rallies in Himachal Pradesh will address a gathering in Una before heading to Palampur. He will end the day with a meeting in Kullu. Himachal Pradesh goes to polls on on November 9 and the counting will begin on December 18.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi kickstarted the party's campaign in Himachal Pradesh with a rally in in Kangra district's Rehan.

Addressing a rally in Kullu, the prime minister said that "he has a sense of responsibility towards Himachal Pradesh and would help the state by developing it."

Congress and corruption can never separate from each otherPeople in Himachal Pradesh will not only vote to elect BJP but also to punish the corrupt Congress government, Modi said.

"There is an opportunity to give three-fouth majority government to Himachal Pradesh. Such a strong mandate will help state to develop further," Modi he added.

"I am not responsible for the praise that India is receiving. It is all because of the 125 crore Indians that India is shining in the world," the prime minister said.
