Jairam Thakur is the main architect of the conspiracy to topple the Congress government : Sukhu
Chief Minister Thakur Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu said that the public property in the state was looted during the previous BJP government. Big mafias got ready, installed crushers in Shukra and Pung ravines and took away the entire mineral wealth. Many such people become philanthropists, but are busy earning money through corruption. By tightening the noose on such corrupt people, the government earned additional revenue of Rs 2200 crore in a year. We did not know that BJP was conspiring to topple the Congress government and the main architect was Jairam Thakur. Six Congress MLAs and three independents were sold to BJP. Indradutt Lakhanpal drank fresh juice with us at breakfast, I thought everything was fine, the Badsar MLA left saying that he has to cast his first vote and will keep an eye on everything. But, he had already been sold, his name has now become Indradutt Bike. There is opposition in the party, we too had it, but were never sold. Fought the fight while staying in the party.
The Chief Minister said these things in the election public meetings organized in support of Lok Sabha candidate Satpal Raizada in Bilaspur, Baddhaghat of Ghumarwin assembly constituency, Bharari and Jhanduta assembly constituency. He said that when he assumed power in the state, there was no money in the treasury to meet even one week’s expenses. Officials said that they will not be able to pay next month’s salaries to the employees. I said that salaries will be paid and the government will also run, the doors of corruption will have to be closed.
The Chief Minister said that not a single sellable former MLA will win on June 4. They will be in bad condition, the public has made up their mind to send them to their homes. No honest worker of BJP will vote for sold MLAs, because they are not necessary for BJP, they are a compulsion. BJP national president JP Nadda has included him in the party out of compulsion. Jai Ram Thakur is saying that on June 4, two governments will be formed, one in Himachal and the other in Delhi, but the leader of the opposition will have less marks in the math. They do not know that BJP governments will not be formed at both the places. There is no threat to the Congress government in Himachal. The government has absolute majority, that is why its two MLAs are contesting elections from Mandi and Shimla parliamentary constituencies.
He said that the government has started the process of giving appointment letters to the recruits stuck in the court after getting them out of the legal trouble. There are 40000 vacancies in government departments. Our government has made 22 thousand recruitments in one year. The former double engine government of Himachal made only 20 thousand recruitments in 5 years along with emptying the government treasury. Our government does not do politics just for votes. Officials said that old pension should be given to the employees in 2026 so that they can get benefits in the 2027 elections. But I gave OPS in the very first cabinet. Now the government will consider giving pension in other boards and corporations also. Thakur Sukhwinder Singh said that BJP is pressurizing the Election Commission that women should not get pension of Rs 1500-1500 for the months of April and May till June 1. Bilaspur MLA Trilok Jambal also protested against the pension by raising slogans. BJP cannot stop this pension, we will give three months pension together in June. The state government has appealed to the Central Election Commission to allow women to be given pension for the months of April and May. The daily wage of MNREGA workers has been increased by Rs 60, but BJP is trying to stop it from the Election Commission. We will also give increased daily wage along with arrears. The government will bear the expenses of the education of children of widowed women till the age of 27 years.
The Chief Minister appealed to the public to vote in favor of Congress on June 1. He said that Satpal Raizada is the son of a former soldier. If Congress government is formed at the Centre, he will play an important role in closing the Agniveer scheme. Congress has already promised to discontinue the OS scheme. Satpal is friendly, will get along well with you. Will get your work done, will not remain a celebrity like Anurag Thakur. This election is of the people, Congress has not money but manpower. The public is fighting the battle of Congress. On June 4, with the blessings of the public, Congress will win 4 Lok Sabha and 6 Assembly seats.
During this, Technical Education Minister Rajesh Dharmani, former minister Thakur Ram Lal, Lok Sabha candidate Satpal Raizada, former MLA Bamber Thakur, Tilak Raj, Biru Ram Kishore, Babu Ram Gautam, District President Anjana Dhiman, Block President Jagir Singh Mehta, APMC Chairman Satpal, Kamal Rao. , KD Lakhanpal, Ravi Thakur, Rakesh Thakur, etc. were present.
