Una:
Launching a sharp attack on the Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu-led Congress government in Himachal Pradesh, BJP state president Dr Rajeev Bindal on Monday said the state was “in no position to celebrate” the government’s third anniversary on December 11.
Addressing a press conference in Una, Bindal alleged that the Congress regime had overseen “three years of administrative collapse” marked by failing institutions, rising crime and a mounting debt burden. He claimed the government’s reported plan to celebrate the anniversary in Mandi was “insensitive” at a time when large numbers of disaster-hit families were still displaced.
Bindal said law and order had “crumbled across the state”, with incidents of firing, extortion, robbery and violent crime being reported from Una to Chamba and Kangra to Kinnaur. He accused the government of failing to curb the surge in criminal activity and drug trafficking. He further charged that the state’s finances were in disarray, alleging that the government had taken huge loans without delivering any tangible benefit to citizens.
He attacked the government over joblessness, saying nearly 1.5 lakh posts had been abolished, leaving youth “betrayed and directionless”. The education sector, he said, had been disrupted by unplanned reforms, weakening the state board, prompting conversions to CBSE and resulting in the closure of nearly 2,000 schools.
On healthcare, Bindal alleged that the Himcare and Ayushman Bharat schemes had been rendered ineffective, leaving poor patients without access to treatment or essential medicines. He also accused the government of “nepotism and mafia-friendly governance”, eroding transparency and public trust.
Announcing a “massive” state-level protest on December 4 at Jorawar stadium in Dharamshala, Bindal said the BJP would “show the government the mirror of its failures”. He reminded the ruling party of its “unfulfilled guarantees”, from Rs 1,500 monthly assistance to women to promises of job security.
Challenging the Chief Minister to call early elections, Bindal said the people were “ready to deliver their verdict”.
