DW BUREAU / Una
Chief Minister today inaugurated and laid foundation stones of developmental projects worth about Rs 200 crore in Una Vidhan Sabha Constituency.
While addressing a largely attended public meeting at old bus stand Una, Chief Minister took a jibe at the condition of the Congress in the State and the Centre. He said that on the one hand the Congress leaders were on 'Bharat Jodo Yatra', on the other hand several Congress leaders at the Centre and in the State were on 'Congress Chhoro' campaign. He said that senior leaders like Gulam Nabi Azad had left the Congress and several leaders of the State like Pawan Kajal, Lakhvinder Rana, Yog Raj and Harsh Mahajan etc had left the Congress to join the BJP.
Chief Minister said that the Union Government had sanctioned a Bulk Drug Park for Himachal Pradesh which would prove a boon to the economy of the State. He said that this Park would be setup at Haroli in Una district. He said that with the setting up of a bulk drug park, India's dependence on China for raw materials would be minimized. He said that thousands of crores of rupees would be saved as the pharma companies in Himachal would get the raw material in the State itself and the manufacturing of medicines would also become cheaper, thereby reducing the cost of medicine. He also accused the Congress leaders of trying to sabotage the sanctioning of this project for the State. Now, when this project had been sanctioned, the same leaders were claiming that it was their dream project, he added.
He said that the nature and style of working of Prime Minister Narendra Modi was different from other leaders. He said that it was the style of his functioning that the Prime Minister decided to celebrate 75 years of freedom as 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mohtsav' to remember the contribution of our great freedom fighters and martyrs in ensuring freedom of the nation. He said that the State had also completed 75 years of its existence and the State Government had also decided to celebrate this occasion in a befitting manner by organizing 75 events throughout the State. He said that main objective was to thank every labourer, farmer, youth, employees, women of the State for their contribution in making Himachal Pradesh one of the frontrunner States in matters of development. Jai Ram Thakur said that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi shares special bonds with the State and its people. He said that during his visit to the State on 5th of this month to dedicate AIIMS Bilaspur and other projects, Prime Minister nostalgically remembered the days spent by him at Bilaspur and in the State.
