DW BUREAU / shimla The Congress Party has always compromised with the interests of the State and its people whereas on the other hand, the BJP has not only safeguarded the interests of the State, but also provided several developmental projects and incentives to Himachal Pradesh. This was stated by the MP and BJP's national President Jagat Prakash Nadda while addressing the 'Abhinandan Samaroh' organized at Peterhof Lawns here today in his honour after the landslide victory of BJP in four states of the country in the recently concluded Vidhan Sabha elections of these states. While thanking the people for his rousing welcome, Jagat Prakash Nadda said that this was not just his honour but was a regard of every party worker who worked untiredly to strengthen the BJP base in the country. He said that feat was possible due to the able leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who have ensured that the country regains its lost pride and glory and every one can live with dignity and pride. He said that it was the Prime Minister who ensured that the weaker section of the society and those deprived of welfare benefits gets their dues that ensured BJP victory in four States. He said that it was after 38 years that any government succeeded in repeating its Government in Uttar Pardesh. He said that the Congress candidates lost their security in 389 seats and AAP candidates forfeited their security in all the 377 seats. He said that it was for the first time that any Government succeeded in repeating its Government in Uttrakhand. He said that it was for the first time that BJP Government won on its own in Manipur. Nadda said that nine food parks of Multi-National Companies have been established in the State and the State has also emerged as a pharma hub and over 12 companies were exporting their products world-wide. He said that the status of special category state was also restored by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and also the 90:10 ration for Central State share for projects was also restored during the tenure of the BJP. He said that the special industrial package for the State of Himachal Pradesh was also provided by Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Kol Dam Project was also started during the tenure of Atal Bihari Vajpayee and dedicated to the State by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur said that the State was fortunate that the son of the soil was heading the largest political party of the world. He said that it was only the BJP where a common party worker can rise to the topmost position in the party, whereas all the other political parties are headed by families. He said that the State was also fortunate that despite being a small State, Himachal Pradesh not only has a National President from the State, but also a dynamic Union Minister in the form of Anurag Singh Thakur who was holding a very important portfolio of Information and Broadcasting and Youth Affairs and Sports. Union Minister of Information and Broadcasting Anurag Singh Thakur said that by winning all the four states under the able leadership of National BJP President Jagat Prakash Nadda would surely win in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh as well.
