Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Himachal Pradesh on Thursday to join in the celebrations to mark one year of the BJP government in the state.

He will release a document highlighting the achievements of the government, an official statement said.

The Prime Minister will address a public rally in Dharamsala town in Kangra district. He will also interact with beneficiaries of government schemes.

Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur and his 11 ministers -- half of them first-timers -- took oath of office on December 27 last year at a ceremony attended by Modi and BJP president Amit Shah.

The swearing-in ceremony at the historic Ridge here was also attended by Union Ministers Rajnath Singh, J.P. Nadda and Nitin Gadkari, besides the chief ministers of the Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled states, along with more than 30,000 party supporters from across the state.

The BJP had secured a simple majority by winning 44 seats in the 68-seat state assembly.
