javascript - state provider and route provider in angularJS

Below is my app.js file

angular
  .module('repoApp', [
    'ngAnimate',
    'ngAria',
    'ngCookies',
    'ngMessages',
    'ngResource',
    'ngRoute',
    'ngSanitize',
    'ngTouch',

    'ui.bootstrap',
    'ui.router'
  ])
  .config(function ($routeProvider) {
    $routeProvider
      .when('/', {
        templateUrl: 'views/main.html',
        controller: 'MainCtrl'
      })
      .when('/about', {

        templateUrl: 'views/about.html',
        controller: 'AboutCtrl'
      })
      .when('/login', {
        templateUrl: 'views/loginPage.html',
        controller: 'loginCtrl'
      })
      .otherwise({
        redirectTo: '/'
      });

  });
angular
  .module('loginState',['ui.router']);

Below is my states file

angular
  .module('repoApp')
  .config(function ($stateProvider) {


      $stateProvider.state('home1', {
        url:'/home1',
        templateUrl: 'views/modals/test.html'
      })
      .state('secondState',{
        url:'/secondState',
        templateUrl: 'views/modals/secondStateTest.html'
      });
  });

The problem is, using my html i navigate to login page.

              
Home
              
About
              
Contact
              
Login
            

but I am trying to hit the state as soon my flow hit the controller

angular.module('repoApp')
  .controller('loginCtrl', function ($scope,$modal,$state) {
    $scope.awesomeThings = [
      'HTML5 Boilerplate',
      'AngularJS',
      'Karma'

    ];
    $state.go('home1');
    $scope.openDialog = function () {
        $modal.open({
          keyboard: 'static',
          templateUrl: 'views/login/loginCred.html',
        });
      };        
  });

but I am not able to hit the home state.
If I change my states file i.e

$stateProvider.state('home1', {
            url:'/login',
            templateUrl: 'views/modals/test.html'
          })

here I changed URL. It works fine now.

I have a template from where I want to navigate to a next state

click here

but as soon I click this anchor tag it navigates me back to home page. ie not to the state I intend to go.
The main issue is URL(i guess) any help will be appreciated.
