Assembly elections 2022: Jai Ram Thakur exudes confidence of BJP winning Himachal, Gujarat
Gandhinagar (Gujarat), November 22: Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur exuded confidence on Tuesday that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will retake power in both Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh.
"It is going to be a one-way election in Gujarat and it is BJP everywhere in the state. Gujarat is going to create history in terms of votes and seats," Thakur said.
"Our party has done a really good job in Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat and all the schemes and projects have been implemented with honesty. Winning these elections will definitely boost the morale of the party and help us in the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections," he further stated.
Thakur was in Gandhinagar before heading to Nadiad and Ahmedabad's Vejalpur and Naranpura for public meetings as part of the BJP's carpet bombing 2.0 campaign in the state.
Attacking the Congress, Thakur stated that they had made various claims in the past of winning in Punjab, Uttarakhand, Manipur, Goa and Uttar Pradesh but they could not win the states. "So all their claims are baseless," he said.
Thakur mocked Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra, saying the Congress leader was "sent on the yatra so that he keeps away from the elections".

"It is critical for any leader to work for the elections, to work for the party's victory." And this is the first time that two states are holding elections while their leaders are on the yatra," Thakur added.
He stated that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will forfeit their deposits on all seats in Himachal Pradesh.
"AAP has peaked and is now on a downward trend." The party has been completely exposed as a result of various incidents, including the sale of tickets.
"For any leader, it is very important to work for the elections, to work for the party's win. And this is the first time that we are seeing that two states are going into elections and their leader is on the yatra," Thakur added.
He said Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will lose the deposit on all seats they are contesting in Himachal Pradesh.
"AAP has reached its peak and now is on a downward trend. The party has been exposed totally after various incidents coming to light including the selling of tickets, their leader being in jail on corruption charges, sacking of their minister in Punjab. In Himachal, they will lose deposit money on all seats in Himachal Pradesh," Thakur said.
While polling for assembly polls in Himachal Pradesh was held earlier this month, it will be held on December 1 and 5 in Gujarat. The counting will take place on December 8.
