Chief Minister Shri Virbhadra Singh while addressing a public meeting at Khamaadi in Shimla district today announced PWD rest house Ayurveda dispensary at Khamaadi and assured for opening of branch of co-operative bank there after the survey. He also directed for construction of Khamaadi-Khaadapani road and said adequate funds would be provided for renovation of Sihaasani Mata Temple.
He also announced for opening Veterinary dispensary at Beot, up-gradation of Sub-tehsil Nankhari to Tehsil, converting Tharu helipad into Mini stadium and expansion of PWD rest house at Nankhari.
He said that the 'Parivartan Rally' by BJP was a mere flop show. He termed it as display of merely pomp and show, adding that one should reach to the people in far flung areas and villages to muster support and not by Rath Yatras and so called Parivartan Rallies.
He said that now elections were nearing and many so called leaders would crop up to lure the people to vote in favour of their candidates. The people should be aware of such divisive forces as their sole motive was to lure the public.
The Chief Minister blamed the BJP for ignoring this area completely, as not even a single room or a road was constructed by them in this area. “I am being criticized by the BJP for opening many educational institutions, have I committed a crime, he questioned”. The BJP believes in criticism, and does the same for attaining cheap publicity, he said.
