Leader of Opposition and former Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur slammed the Congress government for "splurging "more than Rs 25 crore in celebrating its two-year tenure despite the state facing financial crunch.
However, by repeatedly lying the credibility of any person ends. He should not forget he is also the Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh, he added.
Speaking to media persons in Mandi on Sunday, Thakur said that the Centre released an advance state tax share of Rs 1,479 for the state government.
Those who should be with their families are on the streets today, demanding for their rights, he said.
The Congress Party, which made populist promises during the election, seems to have forgotten that burdening the people of the state with inflation is not governance, he said.
Thakur claimed that the Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu-led government has completely failed.
“Work cannot be done with mere assurances for such a long time. Instead of making empty rhetoric, the government should release the results now," he added.
Former CM and Leader of Opposition Jai Ram Thakur has alleged that the Congress government in Himachal has now embarked on an anti-public path, as it has decided to use public money for image building.
In a press statement issued on Tuesday, Thakur mentioned that the government now wants the media not to expose its anti-people policies. He pointed out that the Sukhu government was attempting to impose an undeclared emergency.
Thakur said that the Congress government has nothing to claim in the name of development.
