Nagrota/Una (Himachal Pradesh): After BJP national president JP Nadda, Union Home Minister Amit Shah also extended Himachal Pradesh the promise that the Unifrom Civil Code will be brought to the state, PTI reported.
He further said that all the irregularities in the salary system of government employees would also be addressed by the people of Himachal Pradesh, bringing BJP back to power here.
Speaking at a poll rally, he claimed that the election is not about electing MLAs or the chief minister but making India "a strong and a great country under Prime Minister Narendra Modi".
He said, "If you elect the Jai Ram Thakur government, I promise you that the common civil code will be implemented in Himachal Pradesh. No one can stop it."
He urged people to elect Satpal Satti and help him become a minister of the state. "Kindly help makes a strong and prosperous India with your vote," he said. "The BJP has put in all its efforts to accomplish this."
Mr Shah said Himachal Pradesh was not just "Dev Bhoomi" but also "Veer Bhumi" as brave mothers of the state sent their sons to protect the country's boundaries. "I salute this land," he added.

Shah then urged women to encourage their daughters to study at least up to Class 12. He promised that the government would gift them two-wheelers. "She will ride to school in the morning and also help you bring vegetables home in the evening," he promised.
He took a jibe at Congress' poll guarantees, saying: "Who will believe in their guarantees? They ruled for ten years but only indulged in big scams. Now they are making guarantees to befool the innocent people of Himachal Pradesh."
He listed BJP's ace vote gathering cards of the Centre's surgical air strikes against Pakistan, construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, implementation of 'One Rank, One Pension and abrogation of Article 370 in Kashmir.
"Did you not want a grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya? The Congress party did not want a Ram Mandir even after 75 years," he said, saying that Congress ignored religious sites because of its vote bank and appeasement policies.
