Chandigarh, December 17

To woo Himachal Pradesh voters living in Chandigarh ahead of the MC elections, state Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur addressed a series of public meetings in different parts of the city today.

Thakur said the votes of Himachalis would play a decisive role during the Chandigarh MC elections.

He campaigned for Sarvjit Kaur Dhillon (Ward No. 6) in Mani Majra, Kuljeet Singh Sandhu (Ward No. 14) at Dhanas, Anoop Gupta (Ward No. 11) in Sector 21, Ravinder Pathania (Ward No. 29) in Sector 56, Bharat Kumar (Ward No. 31) in Sector 52, Shakti Devshali (Ward No. 30) in Sector 41 and finally in Sector 29 at an event organised by the Himachal cell.

Thakur said many people of Himachal had made Chandigarh their permanent home. There was a mutual bond between Himachalis and Chandigarh. For the convenience of people of Himachal settled in Chandigarh, a “CM single window” had been started at Himachal Bhawan, Sector 28, where native residents living in Chandigarh could file their complaints and suggestions for the development of the state. He said the people of the hill state had not faced any problem in the UT during the last five years. This was clear evidence that the BJP-led MC had protected the interests of the people of Himachal.

Sanjay Tandon, co-incharge of Himachal and former president of the Chandigarh BJP, said during the past five years, “sabka saath, sabka vikas” had been strengthened here.
