In a scathing attack against the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre, Himachal Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and Congress leader Mukesh Agnihotri said that during its regime in the last ten years, the poor have become poorer and the job opportunities have shrunk in the country.
"We believe in the Party High Command just like the people of the state believed in us. The people have broken the notion of one-party rule in the country," said Mukesh Agnihotri.
Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur said he previous Congress governments left no stone unturned to loot Himachal, while the Bharatiya Janata Party government developed every area.
