Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Saturday called upon the Indian Youth Congress and the National Students Union of India members to work hard with utmost devotion and discipline so that they could be re-established in the nation and in other states.
He said that in the coming five years, the Congress government of Himachal Pradesh would set new dimensions of development in the state. While the state government would fulfill all its promises, it will also endeavour to provide a transparent, sensitive and clean administration to the people of the state, he said.
He was addressing the felicitation functions organized by the Indian Youth Congress and the National Students Union of India to honour him in New Delhi on Saturday. The Chief Minister also paid heartfelt tributes to former Prime Minister late Rajiv Gandhi on the occasion.
“All our office bearers and workers should give up despair and convey the national policies of the Congress party to the masses with full energy and dedication,” he said, adding that the future belongs to the Indian National Congress and everyone should learn from the past defeats and move forward.
He said that today’s struggle would lay the foundation for a strong future of the Indian National Congress. He said that only those who have the ability to struggle could overcome the challenges.
Sukhu said that it is the ideology of the Congress that has given a common worker the post of Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh from the class representative of the college to the post of the President of Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee, Indian Youth Congress and National Students Union of India.
He said that today he has come to the offices of Indian Youth Congress and National Students Union of India to bow down to the beginning of his political career. He urged the youth to never forget their beginning and roots.
