Himachal Pradesh Assembly Elections 2017: Congress has become laughing club, says PM Narendra Modi in Kangra

Prime Minister Narendra Modi again raised the issue of corruption against Congress government and its leaders in Himachal Pradesh during a rally in Kangra district on Thursday. "Congress party has become a laughing club. The CM has a corruption case against him. He is out on a bail. And then, they come out with a manifesto saying there will be zero tolerance on corruption," PM Modi said.

"Himachal Pradesh needs to get rid of five 'demons' - mining mafia, forest mafia, drug mafia, tender mafia, transfer mafia," Modi said. He even had a suggestion for the Congress when he commented: Congress must introspect why the entire country is turning away from the Congress leaders and their party.

Asking people to vote for BJP, Prime Minister said: Parties and politicians who looted Himachal Pradesh - it's time to bid them goodbye, on November 9.

Continuing his attack against the Congress, Modi said people across the country were engaged in Swachhta Abhiyan (cleanliness campaign) and were "wiping out" the old party whenever they got the opportunity through elections. "It is time to save Himachal Pradesh from those who looted it...from danavas (monsters)," he added.
