BJP working for every section of society: Kashyap

KULLU, OCTOBER 20

State BJP president Suresh Kashyap presided over public meetings in Shiyah, Shainshar and Deutha in the Banjar Assembly constituency today.

He said the BJP was a party working in the national interest and for the uplift of every section of society. Their star campaigners were popular leaders of Himachal and the BJP had full faith in them. He said on the other hand, there were people like Kanhaiya Kumar in the Congress who support anti-national forces.

The BJP chief said Mandi candidate Brig Khushal Thakur (retd) was a patriot, who had served the country and during the Kargil war, he defeated the Pakistani army. He said it was unfortunate that Congress candidate Pratibha Singh undermined the sacrifice of the martyrs by terming it a mild infiltration and not a war.

He said seeing the enthusiasm of the public, it seemed that the people would ensure victory of the BJP candidate again.

Education Minister and BJP co-incharge of the Mandi Lok Sabha seat Govind Singh Thakur alleged that Pratibha could not even spend MPLAD funds during her tenure.

Addressing a press conference here, he said, “Pratibha Singh is not a strong but a forced candidate and her defeat is certain, while the BJP candidate is a strong candidate and his victory is sure.”

The minister said Congress leaders were shocked by the development done under the leadership of Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur and they were giving contradictory statements.
