Union Home Minister Amit Shah also urged the voters of Himachal Pradesh to elect a “strong government” by voting in large numbers.
“Only a strong and corruption-free government can fulfill the aspirations of the people of Devbhoomi by keeping Himachal Pradesh at the forefront of development. I appeal to all the voters of Himachal, especially mothers, sisters and youth, to vote in maximum numbers and elect a strong government for the golden tomorrow of the state,” Shah said in a tweet in Hindi.
एक मजबूत और भ्रष्टाचार मुक्त सरकार ही हिमाचल प्रदेश को विकास में अग्रणी रख देवभूमि की जनता की आकांक्षाओं को पूरा कर सकती है।
हिमाचल के सभी मतदाताओं विशेषकर माताओं, बहनों व युवाओं से अपील करता हूँ कि प्रदेश के सुनहरे कल के लिए अधिक से अधिक संख्या में मतदान कर एक सशक्त सरकार चुने।

With over 55 lakh voters are set to vote, polling is taking place on all the 68 Assembly seats of the state, the majority of which (44) had come in the BJP’s bag in the 2017 Assembly polls, with Congress being restricted to just 21 seats.
The BJP, which is in power in the state, eyes a comeback, insisting that “continuity” is key to development. Opposition Congress hopes to sail back to power, banking on the four-decade old tradition of voting out incumbents.
