SHIMLA: Himachal Pradesh chief minister Jai Ram Thakur said he had promised not to say anything against the opposition first and he would count only the achievements of his government in the last four years, but the Congress leaders on coming to Mandi abused him and his insult would never be tolerated by the people of Mandi parliamentary constituency.
While addressing an election rally in favour of BJP candidate from Mandi Brigadier Khushal Thakur at Baira in Sarkaghat assembly constituency on Saturday, Jai Ram Thakur said people who once divided the state on the basis of cap colours, regionalism and dialects were today accusing him of favouritism. “But when I confront them with facts and figures they remains speechless,” he added.
Lashing out at the Congress, the CM said, “I am not making any personal attack, but Pratibha Singh was a two-time MP from Mandi parliamentary seat and today people are talking about how many times she had reached among them as an MP. Yes, definitely she kept coming with Virbhadra Singh but only to seek votes.”
He said the Congress had sent such a person to Himachal Pradesh as a star campaigner, who was accused of raising slogans like “Bharat Tere Tukde Honge”. He added that it was the same Kanhaiya Kumar who had said the Army personnel commit atrocities on women in Jammu and Kashmir.
