Additionally, he has implemented significant benefits for doctors in Himachal.

Last month, the state government did not disburse the salaries on time and also paid the pensions to the retired employees on 10th day of the month.

And, the Opposition made the most of it, even raising the issue during the Haryana Assembly polls.

Not only state BJP leaders, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, too, highlighted the issue during his speeches in Haryana in tandem with BJP national president JP Nadda and Leader of Opposition Jairam Thakur.

The Congress was made to pay a heavy political cost.
