Cong is like termites

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said the Congress has conceded defeat in Himachal Pradesh as its senior leaders have “run away” from campaigning in the state leaving Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh to his fate.

Addressing a rally in the state’s largest district, Modi launched a blistering attack on the Congress over corruption, likening the party to termites, and exhorted the people to finish it off by handing over three-fourths majority to the BJP in the November 9 Assembly election.

“I haven’t come here to ask you to make BJP win. I have come here to ask you to give it a 3/4th majority,” he said.
