BJP focuses on development, will repeat govt in Himachal, says Jai Ram Thakur

Hamirpur, June 27

The BJP will repeat the government in the state. This was stated by Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur while addressing a public meeting at Ghawandal Chowk in Shri Naina Deviji in Bilaspur district today.

He said his government had left no stone unturned for the welfare of people and development of the state. Leaders of the Opposition had started dreaming of power but they should remember that the BJP had repeated governments in four states recently and now it would be Himachal Pradesh’s turn.

Recounting the election trend of his constituency Seraj, Thakur said the constituency was Congress-dominated and he lost his first election in 1993.

He won first time in 1998 and since then there was no looking back. It was due to the blessings of people and sincerity towards responsibilities that led to his five continuous victories in the constituency.

What was done in Seraj would now be reflected in the state, he added.

Earlier, the Chief Minister dedicated development projects worth Rs 112.68 crore in Shri Naina Deviji. He announced to open a degree college at Swarghat and take over Shakti Senior Secondary School at Shri Naina Deviji.

The CM announced to open a Primary Education Block office at Shri Naina Deviji, upgrade of the Primary Health Centre, Bhakra, to Community Health Centre, kanungo circle at Bassi and patwar circle at Tarward, Saloa and Tenbol. He also announced an ayurvedic dispensary at Dhulet and provision of funds for six roads in the constituency.

He said Rs 136 crore was sanctioned for 16 drinking water schemes in the constituency. Deputy Commissioner Pankaj Rai honoured the Chief Minister. Superintendent of Police SR Rana and other senior officers were also present.

Vice-Chairman of the Disaster Management Authority Randhir Sharma and BJP Mandal president Bal Krishan Thakur were also present.

Meanwhile, Thakur dedicated 21 development schemes of Rs 117 crore in Ghumarwin. He announced to upgrade sub tehsil, Bharari, to tehsil and opening of new sub-division of the Public Works Department in Kapahra.

The Chief Minister also announced the opening of the Horticulture Research & Extension Centre, opening of new section of the Jal Shakti Department at Kapahra and Bhaged, upgrade of Government High Schools, Bhaged, Pantehada and Kallar to Government Senior Secondary Schools and starting of medical courses in Government Senior Secondary School Dadhol.
