BJP president Amit Shah on Sunday said the party is eyeing a 20-year stint in the hill state.

He was addressing a ‘Tridev Samellan’ here, where local leaders from Shimla and Rampur had gathered.

Shah urged the party workers to aggressively gear up for the Assembly elections, expected to be held in December next year.

Shah said they should break the jinx of giving merely one term to a government and should work aggressively to ensure that the BJP comes to power with a thumping majority for at least 20 years.

He said as a step towards their Congress ‘mukt bharat’ mission, the upcoming elections in Uttar Pradesh and Punjab were crucial.

He said they would endeavour to come back to power in Himachal after gaining victory in these two states.
He urged the booth-level workers to highlight the issues of corruption in the state and ensure that the government collapsed under its own weight.

He said the Virbhadra Singh-led government was the most corrupt government in the history of the state where the ill-gotten cash had been deposited in his bank accounts.
Shah said they had given the nation a vocal Prime Minister in Narendra Modi, who not only emphasised with the poor but could also comprehend the pulse of the common man.

He said no case of corruption had emerged against the NDA government in its two and a half year stint so far.
Responding to Congress’ vice president Rahul Gandhi’s repeated charge of what they had given to the nation in their two and a half year rule, he said as against their silent PM in Manmohan Singh, Modi connected directly with the masses.

He said the Congress had emerged as an epitome of corruption where scams worth Rs 12 lakh crore had come to fore in the 10-year rule of the UPA government at the centre and the situation was no better in Himachal where the corruption index had surpassed all previous records.

Lauding the PM’s demonetisation scheme, he said the opposition parties, including the Congress, which had been questioning the PM until November 8, were left speechless.

He said all opposition parties were now asking why demonetisation had been announced and they were taking the garb of the poor people to vent their ire.

He said the government was not averse to the problems being faced by the common people and PM had asked for 50 days to normalise the situation.
