After taking oath of office, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur on Saturday for the first time met Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah in New Delhi.
Shah, in a tweet, said he congratulated Thakur. “I believe that under his (Thakur’s) leadership, the BJP Government will create a development benchmark and begin another chapter of public welfare in Devbhoomi,” Shah said.
The Chief Minister, who is on a visit to the national Capital, also met Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and also went to the residence of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee to seek his blessings.
Thakur on Friday called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other Union Ministers.
On December 27, Modi was in Shimla to attend the oath-taking ceremony of Thakur and his Cabinet.
