Regular monthly interaction between the Ministers and workers of Congress party would be held at Congress party office, Rajiv Bhawan, Shimla to ensure speedy redressal of the grievances of the Congress party workers, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said on Thursday.
This move has been initiated in consultation with State congress President Pratibha Singh, he said adding that this would improve better coordination between and workers of the Congress Party including general public.
The Chief Minister himself initiated this move by visiting Rajiv Bhawan today and met various delegations, party workers and common people who came from different parts of the State and listened to their grievances for about three hours.
Sukhu also highlighted the precarious financial Health of the state and said that a white paper would be brought out on the economic condition of the state in the upcoming Vidhan Sabha session, thereby helping the people of the state to better understand the reality of the unmindful spending done by the previous BJP government. Furthermore, he advised the leader of the opposition to introspect about the last five years of the BJP government regime before casting any allegations.
The present state government has inherited a debt of Rs. 75 thousand crore and the then BJP government failed to release a sum of Rs. 11 thousand crore, due to the government employees as arrears. Additionally, over 900 institutions were opened and upgraded during the last six months of the previous government, which would have resulted in an additional burden of Rs. 5000 crore on the state exchequer, he added.
