After taking oath of office, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur on Saturday for the first time met Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah in New Delhi.

Shah, in a tweet, said he congratulated Thakur. “I believe that under his (Thakur’s) leadership, the BJP Government will create a development benchmark and begin another chapter of public welfare in Devbhoomi,” Shah said.
