‘Beginning of each future victory’: PM Modi sounds poll bugle in Himachal, literally
Himachal Pradesh, Oct 5 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday sounded the poll-bugle in Himachal Pradesh, saying that the BJP government not only lays the foundation stone but also inaugurates the development projects.
At a rally in Bilaspur, PM Modi was presented with a ‘Ransingha’, a trumpet-like traditional instrument, by Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur. PM Modi played the instrument and later said, “This marks the beginning of each future victory.”
Assembly election in Himachal Pradesh are going to take place at the end of this year.
PM Modi criticised the previous Congress-led governments in the state, saying they only laid foundation stones and forgot about the actual projects once the elections were over.
PM Modi also inaugurated an AIIMS hospital and a hydro engineering college at the Luhnu ground. The foundation stones for these projects were laid by the PM in 2017.
“Himachal, which is known throughout the country for the heroes of the nation’s defense, will now play an important role in healthcare after the inauguration of AIIMS,” PM Modi said.
PM Modi said there were only three medical colleges in Himachal Pradesh in 2014. Eight more medical colleges and the AIIMS have been set up in the last eight years, he said.
PM Modi next headed to Kullu and participated in Dussehra Rath Yatra.
