Repeat BJP govt in Himachal by breaking tradition of 'ma-beta party': Shah

Union Home Minister and senior BJP leader Amit Shah used the "ma-beta" barb on Tuesday to hit out at the Congress in Himachal Pradesh as well as in Delhi, wondering how can those facing a chargesheet provide a good government in the hill state.

He also said gone are the days of "raja-rani" and it is the time of common people in a democracy like India, adding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has focused on the politics of performance instead.

The home minister addressed a series of public meetings in Chamba, Karsog and Kasumpti to launch an attack on the Congress, saying no one believes in the "guarantees" given by the party.

Shah, who is on a two-day tour of poll-bound Himachal Pradesh, will spend the night in Shimla. He is scheduled to address poll meetings in the hill state on Wednesday as well.
