Shimla, July 17

Former Congress state president Kaul Singh Thakur today hit out at Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur, saying that he was misleading people by making announcements worth crores despite poor financial health of HP.

Addressing a press conference here today, he said the CM was announcing schemes and projects without making any budgetary provision. “It is obvious that the CM is doing so only to get votes. These announcements will remain only on paper as there is no money to fulfil these,” he said.

He accused the CM of behaving in an irresponsible manner. “The CM must reveal the budgetary provision before making these announcements,” he said.

He also accused the Jai Ram regime of being insensitive to the problems of apple growers, forcing them to take to the roads to lodge their protest.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
