There is a need to take more interest in metalling of rural roads: Ravi Thakur

The discussion on the budget was started by Palampur Congress MLA Ashish Butel taking part in the discussion. He said that all sections have been taken care of in the budget. The Chief Minister has presented this budget keeping in mind the idea of bringing the economy back on track. The budget will strengthen the rural economy. Mandi BJP MLA Anil Sharma said that milk has to be brought from far away places in the state. There is no mention of its purchase in the budget. If processing costs increase and milk is not sold, where will we take it? Congress MLA from Lahaul-Spiti Ravi Thakur said that this budget is in public interest. Many provisions have been made in the budget, which are going to benefit Himachal Pradesh. There is a need to take more interest in metalling of rural roads. The matter of promoting sports field activities is also good.

It has been announced to give Rs 1500 per month for the women of Lahaul-Spiti district. It will start very soon. Water sources have gone far back. These will have to be remodelled. This should also be paid attention to. The schemes which have been launched to increase tourism. There is a plan to set up a mini secretariat in every district near the District Magistrate’s office. Its foundation stone was laid in 2003 during the time of Dhumal government, but it has not been completed yet.

BPL gardeners can be paid their liabilities in cash: Jagat Negi

Responding to a question by Theog Congress MLA Kuldeep Singh Rathore, Horticulture Minister Jagat Singh Negi said that the dues of HPMC and HIMFED have not been paid for the last several years. Many farmers and gardeners have taken loans from banks. A definite date should be given by when the payment will be made. The 20 liter oil which is meant for spray is available in HIMFED for Rs 2750. It is available in the market for Rs 2400 to 2500. There is a gap of up to Rs 250. Will fix it? On Wednesday, Horticulture Minister Jagat Singh Negi said that the total pending amount under Mandi mediation is Rs 78 crore. As soon as the budget comes, we give it. Products are given instead of cash. Recently products worth Rs 22 crore have been given. The market rate of HPMC has also been reduced. HMO is being provided at less than the market rate. At present expensive products are not being provided in the market. In a supplementary question, BJP MLA Balveer Singh Verma said that cash payment should be made to IRDP people immediately. There is a difference in quality. Jagat Singh Negi said that whatever inputs are being given are of quality. Will give BPL to people in cash. This is a good suggestion. If we get money we will do the same.

If the MLA gives it in writing, we will deposit the amount: Sukhu

During Question Hour, BJP MLA Randhir Sharma asked how much amount has been allocated to the districts from January 1, 2023 to January 15, 2023. On what works has this amount been spent? Is this money also spent on solar lights? On this, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said that in many districts, more money is received due to public cooperation in development. In many cases it falls short. It is allocated on the basis of population. The Chief Minister said that if the MLA writes about this. Once people’s shares are deposited, the amount will be given. Many cases are also stuck due to non-availability of land.

Leader of Opposition Jairam Thakur said this –

On this Matter, Leader of Opposition Jairam Thakur said that if we look at the record, the CM had said that he has mentioned employment, not five lakh jobs. Keeping the documents today. This has also been written in the manifesto. But government jobs are specifically mentioned in it. The Chief Minister should apologize on this. It is also surprising that the manifesto is different and the guarantee is different. At that time perhaps they were not taken into confidence. Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said there were two types of letters for accountability of the government. One is a declaration and the other is a letter of guarantee. Yesterday he had talked about the guarantee letter. He reiterated that he will provide employment opportunities to five lakh people in five years. One lakh government jobs will be provided in five years. Moving forward in this direction. Posts are being filled in various sectors. Yesterday Trilok Jamwal said a letter of guarantee or a manifesto. This should be seen on record. Speaker Kuldeep Singh Pathania said that it will be looked into.

HP Budget Session: Uproar again in the House on the issue of providing one lakh government jobs, squabble between Sukhu and Jayaram –

Before the beginning of the seventh day of the budget session of Himachal Pradesh Assembly, the BJP Legislature Party has staged a strong demonstration in the campus, accusing the Congress government of not implementing the guarantees. After this, before the start of the Question Hour, Leader of Opposition Jairam Thakur raised the question of order and alleged that the employment guarantee was not implemented in the state.

Leader of Opposition in the House Jairam Thakur said that it is written in the Congress manifesto that as soon as the Himachal government is formed, one lakh unemployed people in the state will be given government jobs.
Five lakh youth will be provided employment in five years. Jairam Thakur also read some lines of the Congress manifesto. Speaker Kuldeep Singh Pathania said that a copy of it should be kept in the House.

At the same time, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said that there is talk of providing government employment in five years. Let them read.

Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said that the 10 guarantee letters of Congress are different. The manifesto is separate. They are mixing both. If it is written in the manifesto that employment will be provided to five lakh people in five years, then it will be given. If it has been written that one lakh government jobs will be given, these will also be given. 30 thousand jobs have been created this year itself. The remaining Rs 70 thousand will also be given to them in five years. There is talk of providing employment to five lakh people in five years.
