Chief Minister said that the Hatti community of the Sirmaur has maintained the rich cultural repository of the community which was indeed appreciable. He said that it was after about two years that this fair was being celebrated due to the corona pandemic. He said that all this was possible due to the able leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he not only successfully guided the nation in this testing time, but also motivated the scientists to develop indigenous vaccine against the virus. He said that free two doses were provided to over 135 crore people of the country. He said that it was unfortunate that the Congress leaders even opposed this initiative of the BJP Government, but were first in getting them vaccinated. He said that during the pandemic these leaders went into hibernation, whereas on the other hand the BJP leaders not only provided face masks and other assistance to the needy, but the BJP Government also strengthened health infrastructure in the State.
Jai Ram Thakur said that almost every section of the society has been benefitted by welfare schemes initiated by the State Government. He said that all eligible people above 60 years of age were getting social security pension and every eligible family had been provided free gas connection under the Ghirini Suvidha Yojna. He said that from July month onwards zero bills would be charged from the consumers consuming 125 unit power per month. He said that the State produces over 11000 MW power and it becomes the duty of a welfare Government to provide free power to the needy. He said that this decision of the State Government would benefit about 11 lakh families of the State.
Chief Minister said that the State Government has initiated several schemes for empowerment of women. He said that the State Government has decided to provide Rs. 25,000 as revolving fund to Self Help Group so that they could start their own ventures. He said that the State Government also decided to provide 50 per cent concession to women in bus fare in HRTC buses. He said that free water would also be provided to rural water consumers. He said that the Congress leaders were not able to digest these initiatives and were issuing baseless and uncalled for statements to mislead the people. He said that people of the country have completely discarded the Congress and now the people of Himachal Pradesh would ensure that the BJP again comes in power.
Jai Ram Thakur, while taking a jibe at the Congress Party, said that the Party has appointed four Working Presidents in a small State like Himachal Pradesh in a desperate attempt to unite the completely disintegrated party.
