TNR Desk

Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has lashed out at the six disqualified rebel Congress MLAs who switched to the BJP in Delhi on Saturday (March 23, 2024).

Taking to his social media account, CM Sukhu denounced the actions of the defectors, accusing them of betraying the mandate of the people and engaging in opportunistic politics.

In a scathing post, CM Sukhu referred to the defectors as “Aaya Ram Gaya Ram”, a term commonly used to describe politicians who frequently switch parties for personal gain. He condemned their actions as a betrayal of the trust placed in them by the people of Devbhoomi Himachal, the land of the gods. Subsequently, CM Sukhu wrote a post mentioning ‘Aaya Rana Gaya Rana’, targeting disqualified Sujanpur MLA Rajinder Rana, who spearheaded the rebellion against the Congress government.

Sukhu further criticised the defectors for their alleged involvement in various scandals and unethical practices during their tenure. He highlighted issues such as the alleged manipulation of examination results, mistreatment of government employees and exploitation of political power for personal gain.

The Chief Minister minced no words in his condemnation, accusing the defectors of abandoning the values and principles of Himachal through their dishonest and self-serving actions. He emphasised that in a democracy, the people hold the ultimate power and will ultimately hold accountable those who prioritise personal gain over public service.

Sukhu concluded his post by asserting that those who compromise their integrity for monetary gain cannot buy the love and support of the people. He expressed confidence that the public would deliver a resounding response to such betrayal at the appropriate time. Below is the social media post in Hindi:

आयाराम-गयाराम और धनबल की राजनीति करने वालों ने देवभूमि के जनादेश से धोखा करके आज अपना ठिकाना चुन लिया।
आज वे उनके साथ बैठे हैं जिन्होंने OPS माँगने पर कर्मचारियों का मजाक उड़ाया।
जिन्होंने पेपर लीक घोटाला किया और युवाओं के रिजल्ट लटकाये।
जो अपने फायदे के लिए महिलाओं के विरोध में खड़े हो गए।
जिन्होंने देवभूमि के आदर्श व मूल्यों को अपनी बेईमानी व खरीद-फरोख्त वाली राजनीति से कुचला।
लेकिन, लोकतंत्र में जनता जनार्दन है। पैसों के लिए अपना ईमान बेचने वाले, जनता का प्यार और समर्थन पैसों से नहीं खरीद सकते।
जनता जवाब देगी।
जय हिन्द, जय हिमाचल।
