UNA, April 27

BJP candidate from Hamirpur Anurag Thakur today led a roadshow in Kutlehar of Una district to seek votes. Local MLA and Rural Development Minister Virender Kanwar accompanied him.

Anurag later addressed public meetings in Jassana, Hatli, Karmali, Chattara, Kotla and Rainsary villages, where he claimed that the BJP had received an overwhelming response.

The BJP leader said the unprecedented development ushered in the country by the NDA regime and the schemes initiated during the last five years were visible to the people. He added that the country’s image had grown globally during the period.

Anurag said seeing the writing on the wall, the Congress and its allies were now trying to mislead the public. Taking on his adversary and Congress candidate Ram Lal Thakur, he said as Forest Minister, he had ordered the closure of saw mills in Hamirpur and Una districts, causing harassment to farmers and public.

Anurag said it was Ram Lal Thakur, who had locked the Dharamsala cricket stadium when the Congress was in power. He said Congress leaders were opposing the ‘Saansad Mobile Health programme’, initiated by him in the Lok Sabha segment. He said more than one lakh people living in remote areas, including 65,000 women, had received free health services from the programme.
