Congress has a huge contribution in the development of tribal areas : Vikramaditya
Congress candidate from Mandi parliamentary constituency, Public Works Minister Vikramaditya Singh has said that Congress has a huge contribution in the development of tribal areas. He said that the construction of Rohtang Tunnel is a big contribution of Congress to this region. BJP has no contribution in this except that their Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated it.

Today, while addressing the election rally in Udaipur of Lahaul Spiti district, Vikramaditya Singh said that former Chief Minister Late Virbhadra Singh had great affection for the tribal areas. He was well aware of the problems of the people of this area and used to solve them from time to time. Whatever development has taken place in this area today has been the contribution of Virbhadra Singh because he led the Congress government in the state six times as the Chief Minister.
Vikramaditya Singh said that the 9th Forest Rights Act, FRA in tribal areas has been passed by the Congress government of the state and it is still pending with the Governor of the state for approval. He said that since this Act has been passed by the Cabinet of the State Government, the Governor will have to give his approval to it. This is the right of the people of tribal areas which Congress has restored.
Vikramaditya Singh said that BJP has fielded a candidate from this parliamentary constituency who neither has any knowledge of his religion nor of the religious culture of the state. He said that the way he has used abusive language on the head of Buddhism, Dalai Lama, the people of the state, especially the followers of Buddhism, will never forgive him. He said that these days he is on election shooting. Has come and will return to her film world after June 4. He said that due to the way BJP has sidelined its senior leaders in the state, there is great dissatisfaction within the BJP regarding this candidate.
Vikramaditya Singh said that he is contesting the election with the agenda of development of Mandi parliamentary constituency whereas the BJP candidate does not have any vision for the development of the area. She said that she is only seeking votes by praising the name of the Prime Minister.
Vikramaditya Singh also urged Anuradha Rana to win with a huge majority in the Lahaul Spiti assembly by-election and said that Anuradha will become the voice of this region in the state assembly.
During this, Chief Parliamentary Secretary Sundar Thakur said that this time the Congress high command has fielded a very promising, young and experienced leader of the state who is completely dedicated to the development of the state and Mandi parliamentary constituency. He said that after Vikramaditya Singh becomes MP, the voice of the state will be raised in the Lok Sabha.
