KULLU, OCTOBER 24

Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur said the Congress was losing ground in the country. Addressing a public meeting during campaigning for the Mandi parliamentary constituency BJP candidate Brigadier Khushal Thakur (retd) at Shawad in Anni Assembly constituency today, he said that the people now know the truth that the Congress neither has a leader, nor leadership.

The Chief Minister appreciated and thanked the women present at the venue saying that despite Karva Chauth fasting and adverse weather, their number was more. He also thanked other people present at the meeting.

Thakur also attacked the Congress on the issue of doing politics on the Army. He said, “We agree that the army should not be mixed with politics but the remarks by Congress leaders about the brave soldiers will not be tolerated.”

The Chief Minister said that the people of Anni were demanding an SDM office for decades and the BJP had fulfilled this demand. He added, “We will take care of your needs in future as well.” The Chief Minister appealed to the people to send the BJP candidate to New Delhi after voting for him and ensuring his win.
