**Congress should spell out a single achievements while they were in power, BJP amongst the public on the basis of its work: – Jai Ram Thakur*
Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur has said that instead of misleading the public, Congress should count on their works ,Congress has been in power in Himachal for a long time, but today they are not able to count even a single scheme which they have started for the general public. This is the reason why Congress is making such announcements which are beyond practicality to mislead the public. Today our double engine government includes Ayushman Bharat and Ujjwala Yojana of the central government and Himcare, Grihini Suvidha Yojana, Sahara Swavalamban scheme of the state government. Schemes like Ayushman, Himcare and Sahara have proved to be revolutionary in the field of health. There are 7 such schemes of the present government which were started for the first time and a large section of the society got benefitted. More than 10 lakh ( 20 percent ) of the people have got the benefit of these 7 schemes launched for the first time.
The Center and the Himachal government have spent more than Rs 919 crore on these schemes. Does the Congress government have any such scheme or welfare measures ?
Will persuade dissidents by 29th: Jai Ram Thakur
Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur said that the leaders who were upset over not getting tickets from the party would be persuaded by the 29th and they would work in favor of the candidates decided by the BJP. The Chief Minister said that during the elections, many aspirational workers wish that they should get party tickets But there is an established system in our party for the process. The central leadership of the party takes the final decision regarding the tickets only after discussion with the state leadership.
The Chief Minister said that this time also the decisions taken in Himachal Pradesh have been finalized only after discussing with the party and central leadership. All those people who have got tickets from the party have filed nominations. Apart from this, some colleagues have also filed nominations independently. We are in touch with them and sure to persuade them. We are successful in our efforts at many places to placate them and get them work for the official party candidates.
The Chief Minister said that I hope that on the day of withdrawal of nominations, all the dissidents of the party who have filed nomination as independent candidates will withdraw their nominations and work for the BJP candidates. We have held talks with our disgruntled colleagues in Mandi, Kullu and Kinnaur. After discussion at all places, fruitful results are being seen.
