Shimla, June 13 (UNI): Himachal Pradesh Education Minister Rohit Thakur and Technical Education Minister Rajesh Dharmani strongly rebutted the statements made by union Health Minister and senior BJP leader Jagat Prakash Nadda, asserting that the people of the state deserve facts, tangible outcomes and meaningful support rather than political claims and self-congratulatory narratives.
Addressing a joint press conference on Saturday, the ministers said that as one of the most senior leaders from Himachal Pradesh holding a key position in the union Government, Nadda carries greater responsibility towards the state. They said people expect him to effectively represent Himachal Pradesh's financial interests, developmental priorities and concerns at the national level.
