Empowering the youth is our resolve: CM Dhami
During the visit, the Women's Sports College was inspected. The CM gave clear instructions to ensure speed and quality of construction work. He said that it is the government's responsibility to provide excellent sports facilities to girls. Empowering the youth is our resolve, he said.

During his address, Dhami attacked the Congress party and stated that the government is continuously working to preserve and develop Sanatan culture and places of faith. At the same time, some people are engaged in appeasement and vote-bank politics. Balanced development of the state is impossible with such thinking. Dhami clearly stated that protecting the original form and identity of Devbhoomi is his top priority. He will not shy away from taking tough decisions if necessary.
