Thakur claimed that their government had opened all these institutions to favour the poor, whereas this Congress government is closing them, thereby meaning that they is not in favour of the poor. He said that on one hand this government talks about a system change; wherein Himachal being a small state, what was the need to have a Deputy Chief Minister here,” questioned the former CM.
Perhaps in the name of change, the Chief Minister is busy giving cabinet rank posts to his fellow friends and party leaders. Many are still awaiting for their postings, commented Thakur.
He alleged that the situation of the government in Himachal Pradesh is not looking stable, as their own party MLAs are speaking against own government. Number of workers including former mayor Kusum Sadrate, Karan Nanda, Pyar Singh, Daisy Thakur, Rajesh Sharda, Jitendra Botka, Dinesh Thakur participated in the Aakrosh rally.
