Shimla, January 14, 2025: Former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition, Jairam Thakur, launched a scathing attack on the Sukhu government while addressing the media in Shimla. He questioned the administration’s claims of normalcy and progress, highlighting widespread chaos and mismanagement in the state.
Jairam criticized delays in payments, stalled development projects, and shortages in the health sector, including life-saving drugs and delayed surgeries. He pointed out the plight of contractors owed over ₹1,000 crore and the suffering of pensioners waiting for their dues. Thakur also raised concerns about alleged mismanagement in the Jal Shakti Department and the increasing influence of the “mafia,” leaving even senior leaders powerless.
Referring to the tragic suicide of an HRTC driver in Dharampur depot, Jairam expressed grief and demanded an impartial probe into the incident. The driver, before his death, alleged harassment by the management in a viral video. Thakur called for justice and immediate action to address the accusations.
– Mismanagement of funds and resources.
– Unfulfilled promises, including free electricity.
– Wasteful legal expenses to defend controversial appointments.
– Inaction on vital public concerns, like healthcare and pensions.
Jairam emphasized that change should begin within the government and urged it to prioritize the people’s welfare over personal interests.
