Jairam Thakur was addressing a public meeting organized in support of a BJP candidate from Hamirpur, Ashish Sharma, in the assembly by-elections.

"The Congress government led by Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu is simply telling lie after lie. It has created a track record of lying to the people of the state. For the last one and a half years, the government has only given assurances. This government not a single word that say and on the basis of which he can ask for votes," Thakur said.

"How long will the government survive with this kind of lies? This time too the BJP will win the by-elections," he said.

"Scams are coming to light every day. The list of scams is going to increase. The entire State machinery has been deployed against BJP leaders and candidates.

"Now this era of dictatorship is about to end," said the opposition leader.
