They said Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur believes in ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’ (collective efforts, inclusive growth). They said the people were fed up of the “monarchy” of Singh and his style of functioning.
“Congress emptied the state coffers and spent lavishly on a team of more than two dozen political posts of undeserving tired, hired and retired,” they said, adding that the previous government had pushed the state into a debt of Rs 46,500 crore.
