People sitting in Delhi did not pay attention to Himachal
Earlier, in the Una rally on Thursday morning, Prime Minister Modi attacked the Congress fiercely without naming it. Modi said that even after so many years of independence, there was a problem of connectivity in Himachal. Today, the country’s most modern train has not only stood in Himachal, but has run. The people sitting in Delhi also never took care of the interests of Himachal, due to which the innocent people here had to bear the brunt.

PM’s visits will act as a sanjeevani for the ruling BJP
PM’s Himachal tours are being seen as a lifeline for the ruling BJP, as the model code of conduct can be imposed here anytime. If sources are to be believed, the ruling BJP is planning another rally in the PM’s Dharamsala before the model code of conduct is imposed.
There is also a discussion that even after the visit of Union Home Minister Amit Shah to Sirmaur on October 15, the model code of conduct may be imposed. If PM Modi’s official visit to Dharamsala on October 16 is fixed, then the model code of conduct is likely to be imposed only after that.
5 years ago, in the year 2017, the code of conduct came into force in Himachal on 12th October.
