BJP leader and Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal again targeted HPCC presidnet Virbhadra Singh and asked him explain the issue of alleged VBS-LIC link in the Ispat pay-off case. He also asked him to reveal the real deal behind his tie-up with VS Mankotia, who had released an audio CD against him.

Prem Kumar Dhumal said it in a public meeting in support of BJP candidate from Sarkaghat Inder Singh. He further cited the corruption is rampant in the UPA government and prices were going through the roof.

The Chief Minister claimed that the BJP government was the government of the common man as it was providing relief to every section of society.

He stated that the Congress has no right to talk about corruption as scams like 2G, 3G spectrum allocation, Commonwealth Games and coal blocks auction scam have looted the country. Dhumal urged electors to vote back the BJP to power for good governance.
