Shimla: Himachal PWD Minister Vikramaditya Singh said that the reports of meeting the BJP high command are false. There is no basis for these. The Congress high command and the Observer had entrusted him with some responsibility. To complete it he officially went to Delhi. Those whom he was asked to talk to, he has done so and the opinion of the high command has also been conveyed to the MLAs.
On the question of rebel MLAs, Vikramaditya Singh said that this matter is now under consideration in the top court of the country. Therefore it is not appropriate to talk about this. The PWD Minister said that he has expressed his views openly. Now the high command will decide what to do next or what happens next.
Such situations have arisen in the country and state before also.
He said that such situations have happened many times before in the country and the state. This is not a new thing. He said that he has given information about the politics of the state to the observer who came to Himachal and the Congress high command. We will see in the coming time what its outcome is. He said that whatever he says gets addressed and he will keep getting it addressed.
On the statement of Leader of Opposition Jairam Thakur that the government is in minority, Vikramaditya Singh said that let the court’s decision come. After that further strategy will be decided.
Will go to Delhi again tomorrow
Vikramaditya Singh said that the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has approved Rs 200 crore for widening of roads under CRF. He will go to Delhi again tomorrow for its early approval, so that work can be started on the ground on the approved roads before the election code of conduct is implemented.
Collective development is our responsibility
He said that yesterday Union Minister Nitin Gadkari had inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of development work worth Rs 4500 crore in Hamirpur. These include Bijli Mahadev Project, several bridges on Govind Sagar Lake, several roads under CRF and several NHs. Vikramaditya Singh said that it is our responsibility to do collective development. Himachal should be developed everywhere.
