Jai Ram Thakur attacks Himachal CM over appointments, putting 'additional burden' on state

BJP leer Jai Ram Thakur on Tuesday hit out at Congress-led Himachal Presh government for putting "ditional burden" on exchequer by appointing a deputy chief minister, six chief parliamentary secretaries and visors with cabinet rank. Talking to reporters, he said now is time for Chief Minister Sukhvinder Sukhu to deliver and implement 10 guarantees promised by him to people. "Development has come to a standstill and institutions opened by previous BJP government for public welfare have been closed to fulfill guarantees promised on eve of assembly polls, but still people are waiting for implementation of se guarantees...," Thakur said.

poll promises like restoration of Old Pension Scheme, Rs 1,500 per month to women, 5 lakh jobs to youth and 300 units free electricity, have become thorn in government's flesh and inste of taking concrete steps to fulfill promises, chief minister is only talking about mounting debt burden, Thakur said.
