            He said that the country was forging ahead on the path of progress and prosperity under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the State was fortunate that he consider Himachal Pradesh as his second home. The BJP led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Party  President  Amit Shah in the Lok Sabha elections bettered its numbers from 2014 winning 303 seats on its own and NDA getting 353 seats in total with its allies which paved the way for a strong, vibrant and new India.

Similarly, the State Government has launched Grihini Suvidha Yojna to cover all the families not covered under Ujjawala Yojna. He said that the State Government was endeavouring to make Himachal Pradesh a smoke free state of the country at the earliest.

            He said that the government has launched Jan Manch to ensure that the issues, problems and grievances of the general public were redressed in a time bound manner. Now, going a step forward, the Chief Minister Helpline 1100 has been started to ensure that the people did not require even to go to Jan Manch for redressal of their grievances.
