Speaking at the eleciton rally, PM Modi took a swipe at Congress and said that the party only means "instability".
"We always witness fights within the Congress party. We saw it in Rajasthan and other areas. Congress is the guarantee of instability, corruption and scams. Congress can never give a stable government to HP and neither do they want," he said. Taking dig at the Opposition party, he said that there are only two states where Congress has a government and that is why "development news never comes from those states."
"They (Congress leaders) think and plan regarding corruption but we work hard for the development of the country," PM Modi said.
"Today Himachal needs a stable and strong government. When Himachal Pradesh will have a strong government and double engine power, it will also overcome all the challenges and achieve new heights," he added.
PM Modi began his speech by praising the state of Himachal Pradesh. "Kangra is the land of 'Shaktipeeths'. It is a pilgrimage where India's faith and spirituality are present. From Baijnath to Kathgarh, in this land, the infinite grace of Baba Bhole is always with us all," he said.
