Chief minister Prem Kumar Dhumal began his Vishvas yatra on December 23, the day after Narendra Modi was sworn in as chief minister. Dhumal told Outlook that though Hindutva may not have the same impact it had in Gujarat, he expects Modi to be a star campaigner in next month's poll in Himachal Pradesh. Excerpts:
What will be the main message in your campaign?
Who will be your star campaigners?
How will Modi's Mian Musharraf rhetoric play out here?
So you are relying on Hindutva?
How much of a fillip has the Gujarat result given you?
What about the infighting in your party?
