He said that the people still need to ensure that they adopt all safety measures to check the spread of this virus. He said that the opposition leaders were also trying to politicize even this pandemic crisis.

He said that it was possible due to the timely steps taken by the Prime Minister.
Jai Ram Thakur said the abrogation of Article 370 was possible due to the strong political will power that today India is One Nation with One Constitution and One Flag. He said that the decision regarding Sri Ram Janambhumi has paved a way for the construction of a magnificent temple of Lord Ram. He said that we all were fortunate that we all were witness to the Bhumi Pujan of Lord Ram Temple at Ayodhya. Now the endeavor was to ensure ‘Ram Rajya’ in the country, he added.
Chief Minister said that the Centre and State Government has dedicated several schemes for the people of the Country and State which include Ayushman Bharat, HIMCARE, Ujjawala yojna and Grihini Suvidha Yojna, housing schemes such as Pradhan Mantri Aawas Yojna, Mukhyamantri Aawas Yojna, Pradhan Mantri Kissan Samman Nidhi yojna, Social Security Pension, Sahara Yojna, Jan Dhan Yojna etc.
