Referring to the Kishau Multipurpose Project, the Chief Minister said that the state government had successfully secured an agreement in accordance with Himachal Pradesh's interests, potentially saving Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 5,000 crore in expenditure on power generation. 

Thakur described the agreement as an example of cooperative federalism, stating that the Central Government had worked towards addressing the concerns of all participating states through dialogue and consensus.

Taking a political swipe at the Himachal government, Thakur said it was unfortunate that the Chief Minister was being seen as “credit-hungry” over the project, when the agreement involved six states and was facilitated through discussions led by the Union government.
