Union minister Anurag Thakur on Tuesday accused the Congress of cheating the people of Himachal Pradesh with false promises and the youths in the state are still waiting for five lakh jobs.
Addressing election meetings in Hamirpur and Una district, he said the Congress and its guarantees have failed in the entire country which is why, the party was not voted back to power in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh.
"In Rajasthan, atrocities against women were highest in the country and 19 recruitment exam papers were leaked. In Chhattisgarh, only the family members of the chief minister used to get government jobs," the BJP candidate from Hamirpur alleged.

During the Congress rule, the Mahadev App scam came to light in Chhattisgarh while crores of rupees and gold were recovered from the secretariat of Rajasthan, he alleged.
The Congress came to power in Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka by giving false guarantees, the Union minister claimed, adding that the party completely failed to fulfill even a single promise in Himachal Pradesh.
Neither have the mothers and sisters received Rs 1,500 per month, nor milk was purchased for Rs 100 per litre as promised by the Congress while the youths in the state are still waiting for five lakh jobs, he claimed.
