Gujarat sting will have no impact in Himachal: BJP

SHIMLA: The Bharatiya Janata Party has declared that the recent media exposé of Gujarat riots and role of Narendra Modi will not have any impact on the coming elections in Himachal Pradesh.

While addressing a press conference here over the weekend, in charge of BJP national legal cell Satpal Jain has said that Congress party should not forget its own role in the 1984 riots in Delhi and other parts of the country. Every State has its own politics and there would be a negligible response to such biased reports in Himachal, said Mr. Jain, who is also monitoring the BJP election management in Himachal Pradesh.

Mr. Jain who will address various front organisations of the party said BJP will come out with its manifesto in few days.

He said the programme of various national leaders coming for campaign in the hill State has also been finalised. The party will organise 350 public meetings before the elections at all levels and there would be a huge youth rally in Mandi on Nov. 18.
