PM salutes the brave hearts of Himachal Pradesh and pays respects to their families
I think the Congress has become a laughing club, says PM Modi
Would even a child in Himachal believe that the Congress has "zero tolerance" to corruption, asks PM Modi
On the 9th November, It is time to bid farewell to those who have looted Himachal: PM
Congress is a party that now deals only with 'Bhrashtachaar', 'Pariwaarwaad', 'Jaatiwaad', says PM Modi

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi addressed public meetings in Rehan and Dhaula Kuan, Himachal Pradesh. He recalled Shanta Kumar ji's contribution who ensured availability of water in the state, and Prem Kumar Dhumal ji who worked towards enhancing education & tourism.

Attacking the Congress Government, PM Modi remarked, “Congress has become a laughing club. Corruption is the only identity of Congress. They have been charged with corruption but they say there will be zero tolerance against corruption.”

PM Modi stated that some people are still complaining about demonetisation because they lost their black money. “The country cannot expect anything from Congress as it has become a non-serious group. They don’t know what they say, why they say or where they say anything,” he said.

Congress party has ruined 'Dev Bhoomi Himachal’, he added furthermore.

Addressing the gathering, the PM urged that there are 5 monsters in Himachal Pradesh which we need to get rid off – ‘Mining mafia’, ‘Forest mafia’, ‘Drug mafia’, ‘Tender mafia’ and ‘Transfer mafia’.

Calling Himachal Pradesh the land of a ‘Veer Bhoomi, the PM remembered the contributions and sacrifices of the brave hearts of the state and said we are proud of our jawans.

“How can Congress leaders speak about Azadi of Kashmir & question sacrifices of our jawans,” asked the PM.

PM Modi talked about the Doklam issue and the subsequent resolving of the crisis. “Nation is witness to how the Dokalm issue was dealt with, but the Congress even questioned that,” the Prime Minister said.

“How can Congress leaders speak about Azadi of Kashmir & question sacrifices of our jawans,” asked the PM.

The Prime Minister attacked the previous Government on corruption with an interesting take on how they made mockery of OROP. They played with aspirations of ex-servicemen & never worked towards fulfilling their needs, he added furthermore.

Expounding about World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business, the PM said, recently World Bank in its report, lauded India's 'Ease of Doing Business' rankings, but Congress party even objected that.

Also, PM Modi urged everyone to vote on November 9 to wipe out corrupt Congress government from the state.

Several party leaders and karyakartas were present at the event.
