He said the state government has always ensured that the pace of development goes uninterrupted in the area, for which active cooperation of the Centre was also being sought.
He said the credit of this goes to the active cooperation of the people, timely steps taken by the Prime Minister and a massive vaccination campaign launched in the country.
Thakur said workers of the BJP also ensured that all possible help was provided to the needy amidst the pandemic. He said lakhs of masks, sanitizers and food kits were distributed free of cost to the people in need. He said that the Congress leaders did nothing during this testing time and were busy in politicizing this sensitive issue.
The Chief Minister said earlier there were only two oxygen plants, but today there were 50 PSA (Pressure swing adsorption) oxygen plants in the state. He said there were only 50 ventilators two years back and today the state has over 1,020 ventilators in health institutions.
The Chief Minister said the thumping and landslide victory of the BJP in four states has ensured that the country would soon be free from the Congress.
He said now the Congress leaders were in a state of shock and confusion. The present state government would surely ensure 'mission repeat'.
Thakur said that over 5 lakh families have been registered under Mukhya Mantri HIMCARE scheme and till now more than Rs 210 crore have been spent for the treatment of 2.17 lakh people. A financial assistance of Rs 3,000 per month is being provided for continuous care to the economically weak people suffering from serious diseases under Mukhya Mantri Sahara Yojana.

He urged the people to effectively use social media to disseminate the details regarding projects inaugurated and dedicated by the Chief Minister. He said the Swan Channelization project was possible due to the efforts of former Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal, which has proved a boon to the people of the district.
