Working sessions in Parliament adequate, claims Anurag Thakur, if Opposition allows for smooth operation without disturbances.
In his first year as a member of the 18th Lok Sabha, Anurag Thakur has demonstrated a vocal presence in heated and impactful Lok Sabha sessions. The Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Youth Affairs and Sports, has been actively engaged in parliamentary debates, contributing to discussions on national projects and policies [1].
One of the notable achievements during this period is the revival of the Nangal-Talwara rail line project, which has been back on track due to the Centre's intervention with Punjab. This development is a significant step forward for employment opportunities in the region [1].
In addition to the Nangal-Talwara rail line project, Anurag Thakur has focused on increasing the rail budget for Himachal Pradesh, with an emphasis on strengthening rail infrastructure. The Bhanupali-Bilaspur-Beri line and the upgrading of four railway stations under the Amrit Bharat scheme are part of his rail budget focus [1].
The Minister's focus on infrastructure development and employment opportunities for the youth is a key aspect of his plans ahead. He is also working on the four-lane road from Jalandhar to Nadaun in Hamirpur, another infrastructure project aimed at improving connectivity and fostering economic growth [1].
In recognition of his contributions, Anurag Thakur was entrusted with starting the debate by thanksgiving motion, and he has been made a star campaigner by his political party. He is also part of the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) for 'One Nation, One Election' [1].
Despite the Lok Sabha sessions being marked by occasional disruptions, Anurag Thakur has spoken on various important debates, including the budget, triple talaq, and the constitutional debate. The Opposition can make the House more effective by allowing it to work effectively instead of disrupting it for non-issues [1].
Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted about Anurag Thakur's budget speech, which was a personal high point for him. The Minister also countered the "fake narrative" on the Constitution and caste census in the Lok Sabha [1].
As Anurag Thakur completes his first year in office, it is clear that he has been actively involved in parliamentary debates and initiatives, reflecting his commitment to national development projects and his constituency's welfare. However, specific detailed achievements or plans for his constituency during this period are not explicitly highlighted in the available search results.
