Prime Minister Narendra Modi was in Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh to mark a year of the BJP government in the state. PM Modi addressed a public rally-Jan Aabhar Rally-in Dharamshala. PM Modi also released a booklet on the achievements of the BJP government in Himachal Pradesh. Meanwhile, the opposition Congress observed December 27-the first anniversary of the BJP government in Himachal Pradesh-as "Nikamma Diwas". The Congress demanded appropriate action against the BJP government by handing over documents of "scams" and "failures" of the Jai Ram Thakur government in Himachal Pradesh along with the "charge sheet" of allegations on inefficient government to the Governor.
The BJP had wrested power from the Congress in the Himachal Pradesh assembly elections last year.
