"Jai Ram Thakur neglected Hamirpur district, despite having two MLAs from the area, none were included in the Cabinet during his tenure", he said.
Former chief minister and leader of the Opposition Jai Ram Thakur launched a scathing attack on the Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu-led Congress government in Himachal Pradesh, accusing it of silencing every voice of dissent misusing power theough police action.
He said on Saturday that the Chandigarh–Manali highway is closed at several locations, while the entire Kullu district is badly affected. Bilaspur has also suffered heavy losses.
The delegation was led by BJP national president and Union Health and Chemicals Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda and included prominent BJP leaders from the state.
Jairam Thakur questioned the logic behind Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu’s visit to the disaster-hit areas nine days after the incident and announcing only one crore rupees for relief.
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.
