DW BUREAU / Mandi Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur performed inaugurations and foundation stones of 92 developmental projects worth about Rs. 980 crore at Sidhpur and Cholthara in Dharampur assembly constituency of Mandi district today during his one day tour to this constituency. While addressing a mammoth public meeting at Sidhpur, Chief Minister said that the double engine Governments at the Centre and the State were ensuring that development goes at an accelerated pace in the State. He said that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi has decided to celebrate 75 years of India's Independence as 'Adazi Ka Amrit Mahotsav' and it was a coincidence that Himachal Pradesh was also celebrating 75 years of its existence. He said that the State Government has decided to celebrate this occasion in a befitting manner by organizing 75 events. He said that this decision of the State Government was not going well with the Congress leaders as they were getting baffled by the huge crowd coming in these public meetings. Jai Ram Thakur said that the Congress leaders were misleading the people of the State in the matter of development. He said that the Congress leaders were trying to woo the voters of the State by giving ten guarantees. He said that it was strange that a Party with no guarantee of its own was giving ten guarantees. He said that the BJP made a sweeping victory in general elections held in year 2014 upholding Narendra Modi's image as its Prime Ministerial candidate. He said that in 2019 general elections again BJP swept back to power and it won 303 seats in the Lok Sabha, bettering the 282 seats it won in 2014. He said that the BJP ensured 'Mission Repeat' in Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Goa and Manipur and now it was the turn of Himachal Pradesh to break the jinx of not repeating the Government. Chief Minister said that the State has immensely been benefitted by the benevolence of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said that in addition to special assistance of Rs. 800 crore provided to the State, the Prime Minister restored the special category status of the State in central funding by restoring 90:10 ratio for all central projects.
