Jai Ram Thakur accused the Himachal government of postponing the Panchayat elections, negligence in disaster management and interference in the Election Commission. Meet the Kabaddi World Cup winners. Tried to pay tribute to Namansh Syal.
Hospice. Speaking to the media after the conclusion of the first day of the winter session of Himachal Pradesh Assembly, former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Jai Ram Thakur said that constitutional arrangements are being flouted by raising the slogan of changing the system. Such arguments are being given for postponing the Panchayat elections which have no justification. Even after 5 months, the government has not completed the damage report in the disaster affected areas. The work of providing relief has also not started yet. The Chief Minister says that everything has been destroyed and the Public Works Minister says that only 10 to 15 roads are closed. The Disaster Management Act is in force and the government is celebrating the completion of its 3 years in office. The target is to gather a crowd of 20 thousand.
Jairam said that today Panchayat elections are being discussed under the stop work proposal and the Chief Minister is not in the House. He is the one who has to answer but God knows where he is instead of the House. This government has completely derailed. Far from vision. It is working completely keeping the interests of the state in mind.
Jai Ram Thakur said that the government is taking the help of disaster to postpone the Panchayat elections while not taking any effective steps for the disaster affected. The attempt to postpone Panchayat elections is also against the Constitution. But the government’s intention regarding Panchayat elections was already clear. Due to which the State Election Commission kept creating hurdles in the preparations related to Panchayat elections in some way or the other. Ever since the State Election Commission is taking steps related to elections, the government is going against the rules and interfering in the work of the Election Commission.
The former CM said that when the Election Commission asked to prepare the reservation roster, the government put a stop to the roster determination. Even when instructions were given to implement Panchayat re-delimitation and election preparations, the government created hurdles in the name of disaster. When the Commission froze the boundaries of Panchayats by invoking Section 12.1 of the Model Code of Conduct, the Government is issuing orders from the Cabinet for re-delimitation of Panchayats. This is a direct conflict between the government and the Election Commission and is a violation of the rights of the Election Commission and interference in its decisions. Which BJP will not tolerate.
Jai Ram Thakur said that it is very unfortunate that the government postpones the important questions asked by the party MLAs to the Indian public. Doesn’t the government know how many jobs they have provided on permanent and temporary basis in the last three years? Does the government not know how many people have been appointed to posts like advisors or OSD during the tenure of Sukhwinder Singh? Did the government turn a blind eye while appointing them, which they have no idea about. Or these figures are such that the government will not be able to show its face to the public by giving that figure. Does the government not know how many people have been given extension in service and how many people have been re-appointed.
Jairam Thakur met Himachal’s Kabaddi World Cup winning players, took selfie

He said that this journey with the champion daughters of Himachal is a matter of pride. Our daughters are proving their abilities all over the world. She has been showing off her success. He described the journey from Delhi to Kangra with the winning players of the Kabaddi World Cup as a journey to be remembered throughout his life.
Leader of Opposition reached the house of Wing Commander Amar Baidhani Namansh Syal and expressed condolences.
Jairam Thakur along with Bharatiya Janata Party’s legislative party reached the ancestral house of Amar Baldani Wing Commander Namansh Syal at Patialkar in Nagrota Bagwan assembly constituency and paid tribute to him and expressed his condolences. He said that Wing Commander Namansh Syal ji, who sacrificed his life for the country, was a very talented and courageous pilot. The country has lost a very capable soldier and son. Which is impossible to compensate. The pain in the eyes of the family, the silence that prevailed despite the presence of people at the doorstep was very painful. It is difficult to express in words the pain felt by meeting his parents and family members. The country will always be indebted to this supreme sacrifice of Namansh. May God rest the soul of his immortal son at his feet and grant the family the patience to bear this immense grief.
