Criticising the BJP government for implicating him in two "false" cases, he said he was acquitted by the court in every case but the persons involved in framing false cases would be deal with strictly. Singh alleged the previous BJP government had misused the resources of the state and Himachal Road Transport Corporation had become bankrupt due to wrong policies of that government.
