I am the son-in-law of Dehra, Dehra will write a new history: Sukhu

Shimla, June 21 (HS). Kamlesh Thakur, wife of Chief Minister Thakur Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu, filed her nomination as a Congress candidate from Dehra assembly constituency on Friday. During this, Congress treasurer and former candidate Dr. Rajesh Sharma was also present. Addressing a public meeting on this occasion, Chief Minister Thakur Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu targeted former MLA of Dehra and BJP candidate Hoshiar Singh.

The Chief Minister said that the public should ask the former MLA of Dehra that under whose pressure did you resign and impose by-election. I did every work of the former independent MLA. Dehra is now mine, my wife is contesting elections from here. Dehra will write new history. This is just the beginning in Dehra, this is not the end. When the announcement of building a zoological park worth Rs 680 crore in Bankhandi of Dehra was made, at that time I did not think that I will have to contest elections from here. 2000 youth will get employment in this zoological park. He said that by organizing a program in Jwalamukhi on June 26, Rs 1500 along with arrears will be deposited in the accounts of 10000 women and the women of Dehra will get their money after the election code of conduct.

The Chief Minister said that you elected independent MLA Hoshiar Singh from here twice. An independent can support any party, there is no compulsion on them but Dehra MLA Hoshiar Singh has sold himself in the political market of BJP. He came to me three-four months ago and started shouting loudly that I have a resort, give me a way through the forest land for it. Every time he came to me, he used to talk about money. Hoshiar used to say that he spends 15 crore rupees every month. He lies, if 15 crore rupees had been spent then people would not have to face many problems including transformer and electricity.

Sukhu said that Hoshiar Singh has bought BJP's lotus and a bought lotus does not bloom. Hoshiar Singh will not be able to even look into the eyes, let alone get work done. People had elected him for five years, why did he sell his MLA seat? When the public rises, it overthrows big dictators. He said that SP office and SE PWD office in Dehra are just the beginning. Soon more schemes will be brought in the area. He said that if you send Kamlesh Thakur after making him win the election, the darkness of 25 years in Dehra will end. The Chief Minister said that the work of Central University was stopped for ten years, which he started after becoming the Chief Minister. He said that the state government is going to spend a lot of money on tourism in Pong Dam. He said that my powerhouse is the public. I have a relation with Dehra and I am the son-in-law of this place.

On this occasion, Congress candidate Kamlesh Thakur said that the Congress party has put a huge responsibility on her shoulders by making her the candidate from Dehra and she is hopeful that the people of the area will bless the 'Dehra ki beti' and make her successful. The Congress candidate said that I spent my childhood here. Dehra is the same today as it was during my childhood. Nothing has changed. Whatever development has taken place has happened only during Congress governments.

On this occasion, dozens of BJP workers, including former MLA Yograj, expressed faith in the leadership of Chief Minister Thakur Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu and joined the Congress party.
