Amit Shah said that Himachal Pradesh was earlier known for its tourism but the Congress CM turned it into a land of the mafias and the corrupt in his five years of rule. It is up to the people of Himachal to decide if they will let a corrupt and mafia nexus government again come to power or they will opt for good governance under a new BJP government, he said.
There are so many possibilities in Himachal Pradesh but you had a CM who only did Bhoomi Pujan of projects and never brought them to a stage of inauguration, Shah told the huge public gathering. Shah said the Vibhadra Singh government in last five years made Himachal No 1 in crime rate, No I in mafia activities in mining and No. 1 in corruption in several other aspects. All the corruption elements are going about their business freely under their patronage, he added. The Vibhadra Singh government took a loan of Rs 20000 crore for the development of the state but that money was not used anywhere but siphoned off, Shah said.
The BJP President said its ironical that Rahul Baba is asking for an account of Modi government’s work in last three years at the centre but UPA govt. which indulged in corruption and scams of Rs. 12 lakh crore never bothered to explain their performance. We BJP people are not afraid of giving any details as we have done real work on the ground, Shah said. In the last three years of our governance at the Centre under Modiji there has been no allegation of corruption. This is a big achievement, Shah said.
Modi govt. launched a new welfare scheme for the people of the country every 15 days. But the govt. in Himachal did not let the benefits reach you for their own selfish motives, Shah told the gathering. Shah said the Congress party always played with the security of the country by indulging in vote bank politics. Modi govt. implemented the one rank one pension scheme (OROP) on a priority basis to take care of the soldiers who protect the country’s borders in the most difficult of circumstances and fulfilled his election promise. Congress kept the OROP issue hanging for the last 60 years, Shah said.
We have given details of our work at the Centre to the people. Now when Rahul Baba comes to Himachal Pradesh next he should give details of the performance of the Virbhadra Singh govt. in the last 5 years in the state. Shah said that he is very confident that the people of Himachal will throw out a corrupt Congress party and bring BJP to power. He said that BJP comes to power they will stop all mafia activities and corruption on priority and focus on generating employment opportunities for the people especially youth of the state.
