CM Sukhu said, "BJP misused the central agencies, money and power to topple governments but the people of Himachal have taught them a lesson."
Sukhu said that when an attempt was made to destabilise the government, Jai Ram Thakur went to buy coat-pants and had said that now even God cannot save the government, but the public had faith in Congress policies.
The CM said, "The BJP government at the Centre is giving step-motherly treatment to Himachal. The central government has not provided any help but we are working to bring back the state's economy on track."
The present Congress government has taken ₹28,000 crore loan in the past two years out of which over ₹11,200 crore was spent to pay interest on loans taken by the previous governments since 1971, said CM Sukhu.
Congress state in-charge Rajiv Shukla criticised the central government for withholding disaster relief funds for Himachal.
