SHIMLA: Himachal Pradesh chief minister Jai Ram Thakur launched a scathing attack on Congress alleging that their leaders are making frivolous charges against his government to gain political mileage “at a time when the opponents should have worked in tandem” with them to fight the coronaviru­s crisis.

Thakur asked his party workers to ignore the Opposition’s campaign and concentrat­e on public welfare. He and Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad virtually addressed a Jan Samwad from the party headquarte­rs in Shimla. Thakur praised PM Modi and said that the nation is safe under the leadership of PM Modi.

The CM said that even the leaders of powerful nations are acknowledg­ing the strong leadership of PM Modi. He said that abrogation of Article 370 in J&K and Triple Talaq decision were possible due to “his strong political will power.”

He said that the Himachal government has completed two-anda-half-years of it tenure on May 27. He said that this tenure was full of accomplish­ments.

He said that due to the far sightednes­s of the PM that Covid-19 death rate was quite low as compared to many developed countries.

Prasad congratula­ted the CM for being adjudged as the ‘Best CM’ in country by an independen­t agency. He said, “This speaks of the hard work the CM is putting in to make Himachal the most developed state in country.”
