Himachal BJP to organise series of events to mark Modi govt's 4 yrs

The Himachal Pradesh BJP has decided to organise a series of events like mass contact programmes, seminars and sports meets to mark four years of Modi government at the Centre.

"The BJP will celebrate four years of Narendra Modi government in office in a befitting manner and Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur would launch schemes for the welfare of the people on May 26 following which a 15-day-long Jan Sampark campaign would be launched from May 27 to June 11," state BJP chief Satpal Singh Satti told reporters.

More than hundred schemes have been implemented by the centre which include Jan Dhan Yojana, Jan Suraksha Yojna and the state BJP would go all out to propagate the policies among the people, he said.

Himachal has benefited immensely under the present central government and five medical colleges, 70 national highways and an AIIMS and an IIM were among the gifts the state has received, Satti said.

Senior BJP Leaders will visit Himachal extensively for celebrations and nail the false propaganda being unleashed by the opposition to malign theBJP-led NDA government, he claimed.

Satti held police and local administration responsible for the Kausali shootout in which two government officials were killed. He said the present BJP government in the state was paying for the misdeeds of the previous Congress government which allowed illegal constructions to mushroom.

While the previous Congress government earned a bad name for shielding culprits in cases like the Kotkhai rape and murder case, the present BJP government acted swiftly and the Kasuali shoot out accused was arrested from Mathura, he said.

Satti blamed the Congress on the issue of water shortage in the state capital.

Congress party was in control of Shimla Municipal Corporation for 31 years but did not take and concrete step to solve the problem," he said.

However, the present government is serious and work on Koldam Water Supply scheme to lift water from Sutlej river has been speeded up, he added.
