The BJP opposition has declared plans for a major protest, intending to encircle the Himachal Pradesh Vidhan Sabha on March 27.
During a joint press conference, state BJP President Dr. Rajeev Bindal and Leader of the Opposition Jai Ram Thakur revealed their strategy for a significant demonstration outside the State Legislative Assembly to expose the shortcomings of the current Congress government.

They assert that if any government could earn a PhD in deceit, it would be the Congress government. The BJP leaders argued that the promises made by the Congress, particularly the six key guarantees, remain unfulfilled, yet the government continues to make extravagant pledges. They labeled the current Congress administration as historically incompetent, stating that despite being in power for two and a half years, Congress remains unresponsive.

“This government operates solely for its allies, by its allies, and in favor of its allies. Under Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, the common citizens of the state feel deceived,” they claimed. BJP leaders further emphasized their intent to challenge the Congress government both inside and outside the Assembly.

With the third budget session ongoing, they criticized Congress for making endless announcements that have yet to see any implementation. “The slogan ‘False Congress, False Promises’ is gaining popularity across the state. This administration is built on deceit and empty commitments,” they stated.

They highlighted several pressing issues, such as the declining law and order, the surge in drug abuse, and the government’s apparent lack of seriousness regarding Assembly discussions. The BJP accused the government of collaborating with various mafias involved in transfers, drugs, mining, and land.

“The state’s economy is in turmoil. In the past two months, over ten deaths due to drug overdoses have been reported. Social security pensions have not been distributed for months, and it appears that even MLA funds have vanished. Himachal Pradesh is now overshadowed by falsehoods and empty promises,” they alleged.
