The Congress government in Himachal Pradesh has prioritised liquor vends over schools in the name of resourc♛e mobilization, BJP leader and former chief minister Jai Ram Thakur charged🌺 on Saturday.
Development has come to a standstill and "lockout" has become the buzzword under the government♊ led by Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, the leader of opposition in the assembly further allegedꦗ.
Adꦰdressing an event organised to honour veteran BJP workers in Mandi, Thakur claimed that a liquor vend was opened near an anganwadi and when local residents protested against it, the Congress government shifted the anganwadi.
It did not move th♐e liquor vend 💜and this was done in the name of resource mobilization, he added.
"Development has come to a standstill and lockout has become the buzzword under the Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu-led Congress government in Himachal Pradesh, which is closing down scho♛ols and extending the duration for opening liquor vends," h♌e said.
The Congress came to power with the p🌃romise of changing the system, but its focus now was closing down institutions and halting the develo♎pment process, he said in a statement issued here.
Lauding the hard work and dedication of workers in strengthening the party, he said they were the backbo𝓡ne of the party.
The central government has scripted a 🧜history with its development initiatives in the past nine years and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is being hailed not only in India b𝄹ut across the world, Thakur added.
