Prem Kumar Dhumal, Chief Minister said that NDA Government at the Centre never discriminated against any State and former Prime Minister Shri Atal Behari Vajpayee provided liberal financial assistance to every State to ensure the development in the country. He was addressing the National Conference of Bharatiya Janta Yuva Morcha at Dharamshala today. Dhumal said that Shri Atal Behari Vajpayee had special attachment with Himachal Pradesh and he not only provided liberal financial assistance to the State but also sanctioned special Industrial Package to Himachal Pradesh, Uttrakhand and Jammu and Kashmir for ten years so that these hill States could develop and employment for educated youth are created. He said that the UPA Government at the Centre had restricted the time span of industrial package from 2013 to 2010 which was gross injustice with these States.

Dhumal said that every section of the society had been benefitted during the tenure of the present State Government.
