Remembering the architect of modern Himachal Pradesh, YSParmar, Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh on Friday said that besides being a reputed politician, he was a great visionary and dynamic leader who dedicated his entire life for development of the hill people.
The Chief Minister offered floral tributes on the statue of the first CM of the State on his 111th birth anniversary at the historic ridge and later in a function organised to commemorate the birth anniversary of Dr Parmar at State Vidhan Sabha.
Virbhadra Singh was accompanied by AICC General Secretary in-charge of the state, Sushil Kumar Shinde, MP and co-incharge, HPCC, Ranjeet Ranjan, his Cabinet colleagues, Chief Parliamentary Secretaries, MlAs both of ruling and Opposition and Chairmen and Vice-Chairmen of various Boards and Corporations and officers of the State government.
The CM said that it was the struggle led by Dr Parmar that this hill State got a separate entity, size and status to lay a solid foundation for its development in the initial years. “The people of the State will remain indebted to him for his tireless efforts for getting separate political identity to the State”, said the Chief Minister adding that whatever has been achieved by the State, was due to the path shown by him.
