Ex-CM Jairam Thakur Slams Congress Over “False Guarantees” and Law & Order Failures

Shimla Aug 11
Former Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Jairam Thakur has accused the Congress government of “stealing votes” by making false promises during elections and later abandoning them. He cited unfulfilled guarantees like 5 lakh jobs, 300 units of free power, and ₹1,500 monthly for women. In a separate statement, Thakur raised serious concerns over law and order after the daylight kidnapping of three school students from Shimla’s posh area on Raksha Bandhan, questioning police preparedness and demanding stricter child safety measures.
