Solan, October 25
Senior BJP leader and Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj today said the days of the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre were numbered and the people would vote out the corrupt regime which was embroiled in numerous scams in the next General Election.
Lauding the Prem Kumar Dhumal-led government in the state, she said the BJP had worked for an overall development of the hill state.
Sushma said the coal scam had tarnished the image of the Manmohan Singh-led UPA government before the international community. She said the spiralling prices of essential items have hit the common man hard.
Sushma alleged that the UPA government had discriminated against the state by curtailing its industrial package. “The people of Himachal Pradesh would give a befitting reply to the Congress in the Assembly polls,” said the BJP leader.
Attacking former Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh, MP Virender Kashyap said the former steel minister has tarnished the image of the state and the Congress. He had no right to ask for votes now, said Kashyap and urged the electorate to vote for the BJP.
