Public is also hoping for some ease in their lives now” he said adding that road connectivity and electricity are the major problems being faced by the people of this area.

While addressing the gathering, Jai Ram Thakur targeted congress over nepotism in politics and told the people that youths are going to decide the fortune of the politicians this time.

“Young voters have always played a decisive role in Indian elections. This time too they are going to perform well. I urge them to cast their vote in favor of BJP for a better India and strong democratic system” he said.

After Bharmour, chief minister then addressed a political rally at home turf of Congress candidate Pawan Kajal in Kangra assembly constituency represented by Kajal as MLA. Few village heads associated with Kajal and Congress were made to join BJP.
