Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur said the biggest achievement of the state government was to win the confidence of the people of the state. Global Investors’ Meet was a major initiative to attract investment in the state, but Opposition leaders were criticising this initiative which showed their double standard.

Presiding over the closing ceremony of the four-day international Lavi trade fair at Rampur today, the Chief Minister said Lavi fair is known for its trade with Tibet, China and other countries that started about three centuries ago.

The Chief Minister earlier paid obeisance to Goddess Bhimakali at Bhimakali temple at Sarahan. He promised locals that the state government would open a degree college at Jeori.

He inaugurated Rai Khad bridge constructed at a cost of Rs. 8.20 crore and Aerly- Majohli and Swan- Doi roads constructed under the PMGSY. He also laid foundation stone of Kharela- Karangla road and inaugurated Sub Division Office at Nankhari, which will benefit 17 panchayats of the area. He also laid the foundation stone of a lift water supply scheme.

The Chief Minister said the state government was according top priority to development of the Rampur area and Rs 260 crore have been spent during the last about two years on construction of roads, bridges, building and other infrastructure. As many as 15 villages had been connected with roads besides constructing five bridges and 22 buildings and completing the tarring work of 140-km roads.

In addition to this, 33 DPRs worth Rs 133 crore and 16 DPRs worth Rs 126 crore had been approved for roads and bridges in the area and submitted for approval.

Thakur said that people had given wholehearted support to the government as the BJP won all 68 assembly constituencies in the state, including Rampur, in this year’s Lok Sabha elections.

He praised the Modi government for scrapping Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir and welcomed Supreme Court verdict on Ram Janmabhumi that has paved the way for construction of a majestic Sri Ram temple.
