A bitter blame has ensued between the BJP and Congress following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's comments on drug mafia in Himachal Pradesh during poll campaign. Addressing a huge gathering at Kangra on Thursday, PM Modi slammed the Virbhadra government in Himachal Pradesh blaming it for "drug mafia raj". PM Modi sought votes for the BJP promising definitive action against drug mafia in Himachal Pradesh. Sources said that action against drug mafia in Punjab by Captain Amarinder Singh Government has led to peddlers seeking safe heavens in Himachal Pradesh. The BJP is trying to cash in on similar sentiments in Himachal Pradesh now.
