Accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led state government of misusing and wasting the state’s funds, Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee (HPCC) president Kuldeep Singh Rathore on Monday raised questions over the funds spent on programme organised to mark the completion of three-year tenure and asked the chief minister to publicise the details of its entire expenditure and issue white papers regarding the same.

While addressing the media in Shimla, Rathore said that the state government has spent crores of rupees in organising such celebration programmes and he is answerable to the people of the state

Rathore lashed out at the BJP leaders, stating that they are always at the forefront when it comes to lying.

He said that Union minister Rajnath Singh had said that former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and PM Narendra Modi share an emotional connection with the people of the state, which is completely false.

“Narendra Modi-led central government has zero contribution to the development of Himachal. Playing with the emotions has been the nature of BJP and Modi and now people have also started to acknowledge this,” he added.

Rathore said that wherever Modi goes, he tries to adapt to the same color, and plays with the emotions, sentiments of the people.

Rathore termed Chief Minister Jairam Thakur’s three-year slogan of good governance, trust, and development as completely hollow, calling it misrule, distrust and destruction, and said that soon they will be thrown out of power.
