BJP did not give money in Himachal disaster: Used it to buy MLAs: CM Sukhu

  • | Tuesday | 21st May, 2024

Himachal Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu on Monday said that BJP did not give money to the state in the disaster last year, but spent crores of rupees to buy six Congress and three independent MLAs.    "Many facts regarding how many crores of rupees have been given by BJP to nine MLAs have come to the notice of the government during police investigation. Soon the faces of many masked people will be exposed," the Chief Minister said, addressing an election rally in Devidehra of Dalhousie Assembly constituency. Sukhu was campaigning for Congress of Kangra-Chamba parliamentary constituency Anand Sharma. He said that the entire Bharatiya Janata Party continued doing politics during the disaster and the Prime Minister and the Home Minister as well as the BJP MPs did not stand with the disaster-affected people.    "Not a single rupee was given to Himachal in the name of relief, even though 551 people had died and 22 thousand families were rendered homeless. A special relief package was sought after meeting the Prime Minister, Home Minister and central leaders but no one did anything . BJP MLAs from Himachal opposed the proposal to declare a national disaster in the Assembly," he said. The Chief Minister said that our government has rehabilitated the affected families by giving a package of Rs 4500 crore. "BJP leaders should tell the public that they have money to buy MLAs, but why not to give it to the disaster affected?" he asked, adding that "the public has seen the real face of BJP during the disaster".
