Jairam Thakur failed to protect the interests of Himachal: Sukhu
Chief Minister Thakur Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu reached Nadaun on Tuesday afternoon. Talking to reporters in Gauna of Nadaun, he said that Leader of Opposition Jairam Thakur has failed to protect the interests of Himachal Pradesh. Even when he was the Chief Minister, he was not able to present the state’s case strongly before the Central Government, now the leader of the opposition has completely failed in fulfilling his responsibility. Even when the central government brought the Agniveer scheme, it did not say anything. At the time of natural disaster, they could not even demand a special relief package from the Central Government.
The Chief Minister said that Jai Ram Thakur should not get distracted by the response to political statements. No one has made objectionable comments on Kangana.
Kangana is the daughter of Himachal and her father has been the General Secretary of Congress. Jairam Thakur should understand that when any statement comes from his side, he will also get a reply. Jairam Thakur should tell what work he has done during his government in the interest of Himachal. Which battle did Jairam fight in the interest of the state?
Thakur Sukhwinder Singh said that earlier a young man used to join the army and get a government job. The central government also made the army jobs of the youth temporary and played with the youth by bringing the Agniveer scheme. Jairam Thakur also did not raise any voice against the Agniveer scheme. When disaster struck, the three BJP MPs never placed any demand for a special relief package before the Central Government.
He said that Jairam Thakur has nothing to say, he is only doing politics of protest. Jairam Thakur created only 16 thousand jobs in five years of his government, out of which the recruitment of JOIT remained stuck in the courts. As soon as the Congress government came to power, they got those jobs restored by fighting the case vigorously in the court. The Congress government has created 22 thousand jobs within a year of coming to power, whose recruitment process is going on continuously.
