Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu’s achievement of getting a loan of Rs 25 thousand crores in 22 months
Shimla: Former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Jairam Thakur said that the Chief Minister should listen again to his party’s manifesto and the statements of small and big leaders of his party as to what kind of guarantees Congress had given to Himachal. Along with this, the forms lying in the party headquarters should also be seen to show how the youth were given startup funds and women were made to fill Samman Nidhi forms. Seeing him, perhaps he would remember why the people of the state had given him majority. If the Chief Minister stops lying now, it will be a great favor to the state. Now even their high command and national leadership have accepted that the present condition of ANC is due to lying and making big election promises. All the Congress governments are being disgraced because of this lie. The Leader of Opposition said that because of the lies told in Himachal, today no one is taking any Congress leader and his statement seriously. Because of the lies of Congress, today the politics of guarantees of Congress has ended. The top leadership of Congress is now distancing itself from Himachal and its leaders, but Congress is not going to get freedom from this. Every lie told by him from the big platforms of Himachal Assembly elections to the nooks and corners is recorded like a document. Due to which we will not let Congress run away.
We had exposed his lies regarding guarantees in the Legislative Assembly with full papers and will do so in future also. Congress should understand that wooden pots are not heated again and again.
Jai Ram Thakur said that every word of what the Prime Minister said about Himachal was 100 percent true. Himachal has been in the news across the country for the past months, due to which the image of Himachal has been tarnished. Now the Chief Minister tells in a press conference that the employees will get their salaries this month. The Chief Minister is saying that he has fulfilled five guarantees. According to the guarantees, two years after his government was formed, jobs were to be given to two lakh people but not even a single job was given. On the contrary, more than 1.5 lakh posts were abolished and more than 12 thousand people were fired from their jobs. Every woman between 18 to 60 years of age had to pay Rs 1500 every month. The total number of eligible women was around 22 lakh, but just before the Lok Sabha elections, one installment was given to only 26 thousand women. Since then no one has received a single penny. There was a guarantee of providing 300 units of electricity free of cost, but the facility of 125 units of electricity given by the previous government has also been abolished and after spending 300 units of electricity, domestic consumers are being billed at commercial rates. A guarantee was given to buy cow milk at Rs 80 per liter and buffalo milk at Rs 100 per litre. What is the price of milk today? Guaranteed to create a startup fund of Rs 680 crore to provide interest free loans to one thousand youth of every assembly. Did 10 youth from each assembly also get startup money? Didn’t find even one. Even after this, saying that we have fulfilled the guarantee is like crossing the limits of lies. It is even more shameful for a Chief Minister to say such a thing.
The Leader of Opposition said that even after all this the Chief Minister is saying that we have fulfilled the five guarantees. This means that the government is now not going to do anything regarding these guarantees. She has done what had to be done. Therefore, the people of the state should no longer have any kind of expectation from the government. In the times to come, the Sukhu government will be known only for the collapse of the system and division of the state. Today, the Sukhu government is responsible for the economic condition of the state, which has left no stone unturned in bringing the state’s economy into trouble. Loan of Rs 25 thousand crore in less than two years tenure is the only achievement of Sukhu government till now. Like the National President of Congress, he should also accept that the government is being disgraced because of his lies, hence he should refrain from telling lies
