CM accuses Modi Government of misusing investigating agencies
Vijyender Sharma
MANDI---Chief Minister Shri Virbhadra Singh has accused the Modi Government of misusing central investigating agencies like CBI, Enforcement Directorate, and Income Tax Department against its political opponents. He said the Union Government had failed to redress the core issues of the country and it was only concerned to harass its political rivals.
The Chief Minister was addressing a function organized by the State Youth Congress for empowerment of office bearers of Panchayati Raj at Mandi today. He congratulated the Youth Congress for organizing this function and said such events provide opportunity to the representatives of Panchyati Raj Institutions to know about the developmental schemes and programmes of the Government.
He said provision had been made in the 14th Finance Commission for funds for developmental works to the panchayats but there was no such provision for Zila Parishads and Panchayati Samitis. He had raised this issue personally with the Prime Minister and was hopeful that provisions would be made for Zila Parishads and Panchayat Samitis as well. But, if the Centre did not agree for this then State Government would provide appropriate funds for carrying out developmental activities.
Shri Virbhadra Singh said the Government of India had constituted 'Niti Ayog' in place of 'Yojna Ayog' and being a Chief Minister he was also its member but till today he was unaware about the working of the Commission.
While reacting on two years tenure of the Modi Government, he said their development had been confined only to publicity and nothing had been done on the ground level. He said the Union Government had failed to fulfill promises made during the Election Campaign.
Speaking on the occasion, Health Minister Shri Kaul Singh Thakur said the State Government under the dynamic leadership of Shri Virbhadra Singh was committed for overall development and welfare of the people of the State. He said BJP Governments had always adopted discriminatory attitude with Mandi district and many offices were shifted from the district during the tenure of BJP Government.
Excise and Taxation Minister Shri Prakash Chaudhary and Rural Development and Panchayati Raj Minister Shri Anil Sharma also addressed on the occasion and said that the State Government was committed to strengthen the PRIs.
National President of the Youth Congress Shri Amrender Singh Barar said the Modi Government was trying to throttle the democracy and the recent example was Uttrakhand where the efforts were made to oust the elected Congress Government. He also congratulated the State Youth Congress for successfully organizing the mega event and it had given a clear message that the people of the State were standing behind the Congress Party and Chief Minister Shri Virbhadra Singh.
In-charge of the State Youth Congress Shri Afzal Ahmed appreciated the achievement of the State Government and added that the Congress Party in the State had been strengthened.
State Youth Congress President Shri Vikramaditya Singh expressed happiness over the victory of the candidates affiliated with the ideology of Congress Party on maximum seats which indicated the faith of the people on the policies and programmes of the State Government. He thanked the State Government for enhancing the honorarium of the office bearers of PRIs and ULBs. He said the skill development allowance scheme of the State Government was a historic step and so far 1,62,615 youth of the State had been benefited with this scheme.
Forest Minister Shri Thakur Singh Bharmouri, Urban Development Minister Shri Sudhir Sharma, Chief Parliamentary Secretaries Shri Nand Lal, Shri Sohan Lal Thakur and Shri I.D. Lakhanpal, Chairmen and Vice Chairmen of various boards and corporations, former Ministers and MLAs and other prominent persons were also present on the occasion.
