A BJP State executive committee meeting has brought new rays of hope for the Tehri dam-affected people. After years of waiting, they are now hopeful of getting new homes. In addition, the construction of Dobra-Chanti bridge going at a snail’s pace would be expedited. The BJP has passed political resolutions on both the issues on Tuesday.
The BJP executive meeting was inaugurated by party State in-charge Shyam Jaju on Tuesday morning at Municipal Council conference hall. He stressed that the BJP Government at the Centre during the past six months has launched some momentous projects, including Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojna and Clean Ganga Mission. However, the Congress-led State Government is unable to even spend 40 per cent of the funds provided by the 13th Finance Commission.
The meeting discussed in details the manner in which to confront the State Government over the issues of the disaster -affected people. The problems of people displaced by the Tehri dam also figured. The construction of Dobra-Chanti bridge going on slowly was taken up too. The BJP passed political resolutions on both the issues and decided to fight for the people’s cause.
Such issues would be fought at the district levels, it was decided. The party would fight from the roads against illegal mining going on in the rivers of the State. The matter of missing Sachin from Kataldi village in Chamba also came up. The workers stated that the police were unable to trace him even after two weeks. State BJP president Tirath Singh Rawat focused on how to strengthen the party in the State. He also said that the corruption has eaten its way deep and illegal mining is going on unhindered.
Those who attended the meeting included co-secretary national (organisation) Shiv Prakash, leader of the Opposition in the Assembly Ajay Bhatt, State party spokesman Balraj Pasi, State general secretary organisation Naresh Bansal, gen secy Gyan Singh and Prakash Pant, vice -presidents Madan Kaushik and Kusum Kandwal.
