Poor policies of previous Congress regimes responsible for unemployment: Himachal Pradesh CM Jai Ram Thakur

SHIMLA: Blaming the poor policies of the previous Congress Government for the burning issue of unemployment, Himachal Pradesh chief minister Jai Ram Thakur while addressing a public meeting at Kanjian in Bhoranj assembly constituency of Hamirpur district on Wednesday said that his government provided record employment to the youth.

He said that employment was provided on chits during the tenure of previous Congress government, whereas the present government is ensuring complete transparency in the recruitment processes.

Jai Ram Thakur said that Congress leaders were misleading people of the state in matters of development. He said that the state has immensely been benefited by the benevolence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said that besides special assistance of Rs 800 crore provided to the state, Prime Minister restored special category status of the State in central funding by restoring 90:10 ratio of funding for all central projects. In addition to this, during the function held at Mandi in December last year to commemorate the four years tenure of present State Government, Prime Minister inaugurated and laid foundation stones of developmental projects worth Rs 10,000 crore.

He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi today has emerged as a world leader, whereas the Congress Prime Ministers failed to register their presence on the international platform. He said that a few Congress leaders have lost control over their voice in a desperate attempt to grab the attention of Congress high command.

He said that people of State would give befitting reply to these leaders in the times to come. He also accused the Congress leaders of ignoring the interests of the State and day dreaming of coming to power in the coming assembly elections. He said that people of State would not get carried away by the tall claims and nefarious designs of Congress leaders.

Jai Ram Thakur during his visit to the assembly constituency inaugurated and laid foundation stones of 23 developmental projects worth about Rs 90 crore at Kanjian. He said that inauguration done and foundation stones laid by him speaks of the development the area is witnessing during his government. He said that opposition leaders had completely ignored this area in matters of development and now these leaders were not able to digest the development which the area is witnessing.
