The BJP will win both the lower and upper parts of Himachal Pradesh, Union Home🍒 Minister Amit Shah said on Sunday ahead of the Assembly polls on November 12.
During𝕴 an election rally in Kangra district, Shah also took a swipe at the poll ꩲguarantees given by the Congress in its manifesto.
The state is divided into upper aꩵnd lower Himachal. While Mandi, Kullu, Shimla, Solan, Kinnaur, Lahaul-Spiti, Sirmaur and Chamba form upper Himachal, the lower parts of the state comprise Chamba, Una, Kangra Bilaspur and Hamirpur. Traditionally, the Congress has been a strong contender💧 in the upper parts of the state.
Int𒐪erestingly, politicaꦜl leaders and supporters generally make their inclination clear through their Himachali cap or topi. While the BJP leaders wear red caps, the Congress members wear green topis.
"This time, red topi will be the BJP and green topi will a♊lso the BJP," Shah said, claiming that the saffron party will tro🔯unce the Congress in its bastion.
Alleging that the Congress was involved in corruption during its tenure, Shah said, "Who will believe in their guarantees? They ruled for 10 years but only indulged in b🍌ig scams. Now they are making guarantees to befool the innocent people of Himachal Pradesh."
Hailing Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Shah said his stature had grown globallꦇy.
The home minister claimed that when Indian 𝄹students were stranded in Ukraine during its war with Russia, Modi had called up presidents of the two countri💯es and asked them to stop the war for a couple of days so that Indians could be evacuated.
"This is unprecedented for th🌸e world. Our students were evacuated safꦐely," Shah said.
The home minister also made a mention of the development work and government initiatives like Himcare h♔ealth scheme and Jal Jeevan Mission to ensure safe drinking🦩 water.
Lauding Chief Minister Jai ♔Ram Thakur, Shah said the state attrac👍ted an investment of Rs 44,000 crore under his leadership.
The home minister has been holding a series of rallies in the state on Sunday as only six days are left for the polling.
