Quotes
Jai Ram Thakur
Former chief minister and Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Himachal Pradesh
“The law and order situation in Himachal Pradesh has completely collapsed under the Congress government. Within just one month, two shocking incidents in Hamirpur have shaken the entire state. In one case, a young man brutally attacked and killed a woman who was like a mother to him. In another incident last month, a youth murdered his own mother. These crimes reflect a frightening state of affairs.”
