People have shown faith in us, says Himachal CM-elect Jai Ram Thakur
People have shown faith in us, says Himachal Pradesh CM Jai ram thakur ahead of swearing-in ceremony : People have shown faith in us and we will try to meet their expectations, BJP leader Jai Ram Thakur, who will take oath as the new chief minister of Himachal Pradesh, said on Wednesday.
Shimla’s historic ridge ground will be the site of the Thakur-led BJP government’s swearing-in ceremony on Wednesday.
Stating that he misses his father who died last year, Thakur told ANI that his mother too was unwell but her blessings were with him.
The BJP’s victory in the Himachal Pradesh election “a win for the common man”, said Thakur’s wife Sadhana Thakur.
“There are a lot of expectations with this government that they will try and solve the problems faced by the public,” she said.
It is for the third time that a swearing-in ceremony is being organised at the ground, which has a British era water storage tank beneath it.
“The security checks and barricading are hampering the movement of pedestrians,” Ravinder Kumar, a visitor from Chandigarh, said.
“Shimla town has only one open space and that too has been turned into a fortress,” said another tourist Mohit Chauhan. On normal days, the ridge is off limits for vehicles and only fire tenders and ambulances are excluded from this rule.
