Will review decision taken by Cong govt: Jai Ram Thakur

Shimla: All decisions taken by the outgoing Congress government three months before the imposition of the model code of conduct would be reviewed, Himachal Pradesh chief minister designate Jai Ram Thakur said on Monday.

"We will review all the decisions taken by the Congress government, three months before imposition of the code of conduct, on merit and necessary action would be taken in case it was found that the decisions were prudent or not and whether they were taken in a transparent manner," Thakur said in an informal chat with mediapersons.

Referring to the priorities of his government, the BJP leader said "deteriorating law and order, critical financial health of the government and tardy implementation of centrally sponsored schemes are areas of grave concern and the government would focus on

these".

A major challenge was restoration of trust of people in the police, improving the financial position by pruning wasteful expenditure and aggressively implementing centrally sponsored schemes to provide maximum benefits to the people, he said.

Thakur said "tired and retired officials would have no place in the government".
