Defence Minister Singh hails Himachal CM ahead of Panchayati Raj polls

Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh addressed people of Himachal Pradesh via video-conference on completion of 3 years of Jai Ram Thakur-led BJP govt in the state.

During the address, Singh said, "CM Jai Ram Thakur has successfully run the govt for 3 yrs.

I congratulate people of Himachal." Defence Minister added, "When UPA was in power at Centre, Himachal Pradesh received only Rs 22,000 crores.

When Modi govt came to power, we gave 3 times more, considering the economy of Himachal Pradesh, not its size."
