Senior BJP leader Shanta Kumar hopes for developing Himachal assembly in hands of youth leadership

Dharamshala, January 7, 2018: Ex-CM and the veteran BJP leader, the MP from Kangra constituency Mr.Shanta Kumar has said that the picture in the newly elected assembly of the Himachal Pradesh is a total change. Kumar said, "The CM Jai Ram Thakur is representing the youth from the Mandi district, whereas the Opposition party Congress has also given the leadership to Mr.Mukesh Agnihotri, a young MLA from Una district, who started his career as a journalist and reached this spot after winning few times from his home area. This proves that the present Himachal assembly is in the hand of youth – a good positive political position.”

In a statement issued today at Dharamshala Mr Kumar said that both the parties have trusted the youth leadership. The Mandi district has given the 9 BJP MLAs of ten possible seats, the other one is an independent one, and the party rightly has given the leadership to Mandi man.

He said that in the past 5 years of rule in Himachal, most the time was spend in political quarrel and in opposing each other for opposition only, taking the development to aside. This is totally a reserve of the democracy, he said. Shanta said that in democracy one can criticise and levy allegations on each other during the elections but when the government is formed the opposition must play its role of creative criticism only for the healthy development.

Shanta asked both the political parties to start the politics of cooperation as the government in the centre is ready to help the state.
