Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu accused the BJP of misusing public funds for political advantage, distributing Rs 5,000 crore in 'freebies' to influence elections in Himachal Pradesh.

 

He said that institutions were opened without any budgetary provisions and subsidies were extended to affluent groups in Himachal. “Public funds cannot be wasted for political gain,” he asserted. 

 

Sukhu said the present state government was focusing on strengthening education and healthcare infrastructure, rather than creating institutions lacking adequate staff. "My priority is to make decisions that benefit the underprivileged today, without worrying about tomorrow," he added.

 

The CM was presiding over the first cultural night of the five-day-long International Renuka Ji Fair at Renuka Ji in Sirmour district on Monday. He also released souvenirs on the auspicious occasion of the International Sri Renuka Ji Fair brought out by the Shri Renuka Ji Vikas Board. 

 

Addressing the public, the Chief Minister said that the International RenukaJi Fair was one of the most major fairs in the state, symbolizing the union of Lord Parshuram and Mata Renuka. He said that this fair holds not only religious importance but also represents the rich cultural heritage of Himachal Pradesh.

 

Sukhu said the state government issued a notification granting reservation to the Hatti community within 12 hours after fulfilling all formalities. 

 

He assured that the state government will strongly advocate for the Hatti community in Court, engaging top legal representatives for the case. He emphasised that the government stands firmly with the Hatti community. He said that the state government is committed to ensuring the all-round development of the Sirmaur district.

 

Sukhu added that the government has organized Revenue Lok Adalats to provide relief to the people, through which over 2,00,000 mutation cases have been resolved across the State, including more than 13,000 cases in Sirmaur district alone. He said that the present state government is committed to the public welfare and launched various ambitious schemes for their betterment.
