Himachal BJP Plans Protests, Criticizes Congress on Development and Panchayat Funds
The Himachal Pradesh BJP, led by state president Rajeev Bindal, plans to intensify protests against the Congress government over issues like stalled development, vacant government posts, and alleged failure to fulfill election promises. The BJP also criticizes the state government for allegedly undermining the financial autonomy of Panchayati Raj institutions by directing them to divert funds to other departments. Additionally, the BJP opposes the revival of the lottery system and will launch a month-long 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan' from September 17 to October 17 to mark Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 25 years in public office.
