Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said Himachal Pradesh needs a stable and strong government with a “double engine”. He blamed the Congress for ‘instability, corruption and scams’. Addressing an election rally in Kangra district, Modi hit out at the Congress and accused it of “betraying” the state when it was in power at the Centre.
Citing the examples of Tamil Nadu, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal, Modi said there is so much anger among the people against the Congress that it has not got a chance to come back to power in many states for decades.
Referring to the return of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to the government after being in power in many states, the Prime Minister said that the BJP is recognized for good governance and pro-poor policies among the people and hence it comes to the government again and again. . He said that BJP only says what it can do and then goes full force to fulfill its promises.
Modi said other political parties still have their roots in family rule and vote bank politics.
