Unable to find a viable face in the party in Himachal Pradesh, the Congress once again has fallen back on 86-year-old Virbhadra Singh.
The six-time chief minister, who had announced his retirement from electoral politics in 2017 after losing power to the BJP, was invited to first-ever public show – a “Jan Akrosh rally” in Shimla by the party on Wednesday. The rally was a damp squib as most workers skipped it, despite the rally being planned in the state capital.
The Union minister of finance added that the BJP s biggest achievement is good governance and corruption-free government.
Thakur said the budget this year is aimed at increasing opportunities for development and openings for youths besides developing new areas for infrastructure and technology.
The government has tried to bring new reforms in this budget, he added. It is a great budget brought in the time of pandemic and its objective is to make India a five-trillion-dollar economy and bring it to the world s largest economy, he added.
Speaking on the occasion, Himachal Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur thanked the Union government for providing an interest-free loan worth Rs 450 crore to the state.
