Mandi, January 2
Former Health Minister and Congress leader Kaul Singh Thakur today targeted state Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur over the development issues of the state.
He said the state government led by Jai Ram Thakur was taking a debt of Rs 500 crore every third month to organise celebrations. The state was under a debt of Rs 53,000 crore, he said.
"The two-year regime of the state government is full of despair. To divert the attention of people, the state government organised an investors' meet on which it spent Rs 30 crore, but it failed to get the desired results," he added. He said the Chief Minister should tell the people how much money the government had spent on foreign tours to attract investors and what was the present status of investment deals in the state. "Section 118 of the HP Tenancy and Land Reforms Act, 1972, is being violated. The government has stripped the rights of gram panchayats, which were earlier authorised to give a no objection certificate to the sale and purchase of land for any project," he added.
He said during a recent visit in Shimla, Home Minister Amit Shah had announced from the stage that the DPR of a majority of national highways had been prepared, while truth was that there was no progress in that direction.
"Similarly, there is little progress on the construction of the Pathankot-Mandi and Shimla-Dharamshala highway. Several posts are lying vacant in different departments like education, health, IPH, PWD and others," he added.
