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.
Addressing media persons at Nalagarh on Saturday, he accused the Congress government of giving protection to criminals.
He stated clearly that the Leader of Opposition should refrain from making comments against him.
Thakur claimed that in 17 months of the state government run by Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, more than 300 rapes and 150 murders have been reported.
He charged Thakur with trying to play with people’s emotions by raising slogans of regionalism.
Singh stressed the need for local employment opportunities for the youth, highlighting this as a key aspect of his vision for the Mandi parliamentary constituency.
