KANGRA: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president Jagat Prakash Nadda on Saturday launched a scathing attack on the Congress-led Himachal Pradesh government during a rally at Rehan in Fatehpur Assembly constituency of Kangra.
The rally, held in the support of BJP candidate Rajiv Bhardwaj, saw Nadda highlighting alleged mismanagement and inefficiencies of the Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu-led Himachal government.
Nadda asserted that the Narendra Modi government at the Centre had allocated Rs 1,782 crore for disaster relief in Himachal Pradesh, but the state government allegedly failed to distribute the funds effectively.
He also claimed that despite the Centre’s provision for 2,700 km of rural roads and funding for 11,000 houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, these projects had not materialised.
In a significant announcement, Nadda promised that power bills would soon be eliminated through the installation of solar power plants in every household. This initiative aims to bolster renewable energy use and reduce the financial burden on residents.
Reflecting on the achievements of the Modi government, Nadda emphasised that 25 crore people had been lifted out of poverty, illustrating what he described as India’s transformative progress. He urged the public to ensure the third consecutive term for Prime Minister Modi and to vote Rajiv Bhardwaj into Parliament.
Following his address in Fatehpur, Nadda proceeded to Chamba for a rally and his last halt for the day would be at Arki in Solan district. The events were part of a day-long campaign blitz designed to invigorate party workers and galvanise voters.
