Here are the highlights of her speech:
- I think they are not concerned about farmers - they are bothered with only their politics
- The way the Congress and UPA has fought against corruption, no one has ever done before
- The people against whom we had evidence we took action
- I want to ask the BJP - have you taken any action against your leaders who are mired in corruption charges?
- We have pushed for the RTI, we have passed the Lokpal in the Lok Sabha - who stalled it in the Rajya Sabha, the BJP.
- They are not against corruption, they are against the Congress
- This is election season - parties will make promises to you - but I trust the people of Himachal will not be swayed by false promises
- For the benefit of farmers, we have decided to bring in FDI in retail. The farmers will not get exploited and consumers will also get products at cheaper rates.
- The Opposition is creating rumours on FDI, no state is forced to accept FDI in retail. The Opposition not thinking about the betterment of the farmers.
- The Congress is also helping farmers and the poor by giving them LPG cylinders but why hasn't this state accepted it. We have been working for the people continuously.
- If Himachal wants development in the state, they have to remove this govt from the state.
- I know the people of himachal are not gullible and they will take the right decision.
- The Congress is the only party, that doesn't make false promises. with us the people of this state will benefit and develop.
