Dehra Gopipur----Himachal Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh alleged that the sports had turned into gambling in the state. The game had been reduced to "satta" (a form of gambling controlled by underworld) in Himachal Pradesh, the CM alleged.
The Chief Minister said this while addressing public rally at Muhal in Dehra subdivision of Kangra district for Rajinder Rana, Congress candidate from the Hamirpur parliamentary constituency.
Virbhadra Singh appreciated the statement of senior BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi that there was no Modi wave in the country. He said the Modi campaign was just in the media. Devise politics being played by the BJP was not required in the country as it would destroy the secular fabric.
The CM also said the BJP was misguiding the people of Dehra regarding the location of Central University Himachal Pradesh (CUHP). BJP leaders had been claiming that if the NDA government was voted to power, the Central University would come up at Dehra.
The CM said allocating land for CUHP was the job of the Minister for Environment and Forests and no-objection certificate for it would be granted soon.
Virbhadra said the Congress government had reopened many schools across the state that were closed by the previous BJP government.
Viplove Thakur, Rajya Sabha member, criticised the BJP for making IPL matches in Dharamsala this year a poll issue. She said it seemed that the BJP was more interested in hosting the IPL matches rather than conducting Lok Sabha poll.
The IPL matches proposed in Dharamsala this year were shifted to other states as the state government expressed its inability to provide security for the purpose.
