Congress MLA Protests Denied Speaking Opportunity at Uttarakhand Fair, Challenges CM
At Uttarakhand's Jauljibi Fair, Congress MLA Harish Singh Dhami protested after being denied a chance to speak in the presence of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami. The MLA alleged his microphone was switched off, leading to a heated confrontation where he threw a microphone and challenged the Chief Minister to contest from Dharchula in 2027. The BJP condemned Dhami's actions and language, while Congress leaders criticized the government for excluding local representatives. Police intervened to control the ensuing commotion.
