"For this reason they stop a stable government from coming to power. Small states have always been targeted by these selfish groups. They make false promises, win a few seats and work for their own interests. They call themselves 'kattar imaandaar (very honest)' but they are the most corrupt and conspire to divide society," Modi said. Himachal Pradesh should be beware of such groups, he cautioned. Solan with such big response has given a message that Himachal Pradesh will again have 'double engine' government of the BJP, he said. "You need not remember the BJP candidate, only remember the symbol of 'Lotus' when you go to cast your vote. I've come to you with 'Lotus', wherever you see the symbol of 'Lotus' that means it's the BJP and that Modi ji has come to you," Modi said. </p>
