“The government would always remain indebted to the Union government for their liberal financial assistance and fulfilling all demands of this hilly state,” he said, adding Himachal Pradesh is witnessing a revolution in the field of health and other sectors due to this. He said the previous government just kept showing dreams to the people and made hollow promises but the present government believes in realising the dreams and within a short period of five months, the results could be seen on the ground.
“Congress leaders has always failed to take up the issues of the state interest effectively to Central government, whereas, BJP MPs had been constantly raising issues of railway expansion and other development projects,” he said, adding all demands had been accepted by the Centre.
The CM said the government was working with a new vision and had started work on small initiatives to take Himachal Pradesh to new heights of development and prosperity.
With six medical colleges in government sector and one in private sector, around 750 doctors would be available to the state in the coming years which would help in meeting the demand of specialists and medical officers in the state, he said.
