Talking to Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur on the last day of campaigning for Himachal Pradesh Assembly elections Nistula Hebbari On the competition…..
Going to the assembly elections, which are the thrones on which the BJP is campaigning, do you think?
A direct comparison with the previous Congress government shows how Development of Himachal Pradesh neglected, and many central schemes suffered due to delays. For example, AIIMS in the state was closed for four years, the time taken by the Central University too, several hydroelectric projects were also delayed. In fact, when there was a Congress government at the Center and in the state, special category status Himachal Pradesh was annexed, and was restored when Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power, even though the state had a Congress-led government. Congress has always put obstacles in the way of development double engine government What the BJP has reversed has been fast-tracked.

It is being said that to overcome the local challenges, the BJP is again having to depend on the face of Prime Minister Modi and the rhetoric of a double engine government.
We are proud to have Modiji as our leader, the most popular leader across the world. we speak specially double engine government in hpHowever, because the role of the central government is crucial in terms of infrastructure and developmental challenges in a hilly state and Modiji at the centre, a prime minister who sees Himachal Pradesh as a second home, has been significant. jairam thakur government The central schemes have also worked well in terms of significant top-ups, such as they launched Himcare as the Centre’s Ujjwala LPG scheme as well as the Centre’s Ayushman Bharat, Gruhini Yojana. Good work is being seen in the state both at the Center and in the state.
Speaking of welfare programmes, Prime Minister Modi has firmly said that he is against freebies or “revdi”, but many of your party’s manifesto promises sound like handouts.
They’re not free or” revdl”, for the obvious reason that almost all will lead to women-led development and reform, in the stable terms of women’s health and economic empowerment. For example, the manifesto states that pregnant women will be given ₹25,000 state-aided maintenance to help tackle the widespread anemia and malnutrition prevalent among women, 33% reservation in jobs, empowerment of women, It is important for girls to cycle and scooter to go to college because it is especially difficult to get from one place to another in mountainous states. Things like the creation of eight lakh jobs, or 2% interest rate subvention to self-help groups are not out of hand. All these promises are not handouts or freebies, but measures that will have a consistent, positive impact on growth indicators.
Your party has seen an unusually large number of rebels this time, especially in the important districts of Kangra and Mandi. With very tight contests in the past, do you think this will affect the BJP’s prospects?
See, no one wants rebel candidates and every effort was made to reason with the people to withdraw their candidature, but with the widespread belief that BJP was winning these elections, there were many candidates and this was unfortunate. That at some point you can’t persuade everyone. To fall in line However, I believe People of Himachal Pradesh Will not waste their vote, they will vote only for official candidate of BJP.
