Mandi (Himachal Pradesh) [India], May 1 (ANI): Former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Jairam Thakur lashed out at the Chief Minister Thakur Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu led Himachal government and said that the people of the state had given a chance to the Congress government for five years but they were not able to handle their government.
“BJP won the Rajya Sabha seat and six MLAs bid farewell to the Congress government. There is no Congress government in the state now and Vikramaditya Singh is being tormented by this issue. BJP has no role in the demise of the government,” said Jairam Thakur.
Hailing Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said, “We aim to make Modi ji the Prime Minister for the third time. Congress people are saying that nothing will happen by holding this Pannalal conference but I say that these same workers are going to spoil your equation.”
Jairam Thakur said that Congress tried to cheat women in the name of Rs 1500. Today, even after 15 months, this amount has not been provided to women nor does Congress have any intention of doing so.
Launching a scathing attack on Chief Minister Sukhwinder Sukhu he said, “He has proved to be the most ruthless Chief Minister till date who has now become the biggest problem for the Congress Party and will be known for speaking foul against the MLAs.”
“Baseless allegations are being levelled against the leaders who have joined BJP and they try to accumulate sympathy from the public. This situation has arisen because of them only,” said Jairam Thakur.
Notably, Himachal Pradesh has four Lok Sabha seats: Hamirpur, Mandi, Shimla, and Kangra. The BJP had won all four seats in 2019.
The elections to the four Lok Sabha seats of Himachal Pradesh and by-polls to the six assembly constituencies that fell vacant with the disqualification of six rebel Congress MLAs will be held on June 1.
Voting for the second phase of the Lok Sabha elections 2024 was held on Friday across 88 Parliamentary Constituencies spread over 12 States and Union Territories. (ANI)
