What did Virbhadra get for Himachal, asks Prof. Dhumal

CM Prof. Prem Kumar Dhumal said that during the election campaign in the state, Virbhadra Singh will have to answer what he brought for the state during his tenure as the Union Minster of Steel and then Union Minister of Medium & Small Scale Entreprises. Addressing a press conference in Shimla, Prof. Dhumal said that instead of helping the state, Virbhadra and Union Minister of Commerce, Anand Sharma tried to insert hurdle in the allotment of various projects to the state. The Hydro engineering college in Bilaspur was not allowed to be sanctioned for the state because Anand Sharma and Virbhadra Singh didn’t allow this to happen.

He said that if these two Union Ministers would have insisted, the central government wouldn’t have reduced the duration of special package for the state. He expressed shock on the fact that Virbhadra Singh is publicizing the Atal Uniform Scheme to be centre funded scheme whereas the scheme has been totally funded by the state government.

He said that if Atal Uniform Scheme is centre-funded then other congress ruled states like Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan and Maharashtra have not got this scheme implemented? He said that the Union Government has always shown biased behaviour towards Himachal Pradesh. The central government has shown no concern for the Bhanupali- Barmana- Manali- Kelong- Leh railway line which is of strategic importance from the defense & security point of view. The people of Himachal will give a strong reply to the congress for its anti-public policies.
