Mandi, October 20

Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur today addressed public meetings in the Seraj and Darang Assembly constituencies in Mandi district to seek votes for BJP candidate Brig Khushal Thakur (retd).

Thakur said that the Congress was trying to mislead people over the unemployment issue. He blamed the previous Congress government for the rise in the number of unemployed youths in the state. He said, “The Congress had ruled the country as well as the state for a long period but it failed to make a plan to resolve the unemployment problem”.

He said that the Congress had ruled the nation for a long period and plundered it. During the UPA regime led by the Congress at the Centre, big scams were reported.

“Not even one scam has been reported in the past seven years after the BJP came to power at the Centre. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the nation is heading on the path of progress,” he said.
