Himachal CM Sukhu Rejects Claims of Being North India's Richest Chief Minister
Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu dismissed claims from an ADR report labeling him the richest CM in North India, stating he has not acquired new property since taking office. Sukhu attributed the report's timing to a political conspiracy by the BJP aimed at tarnishing his image. He noted that his assets, declared in election affidavits over the past 20 years, may have appreciated in value but insisted his property holdings have actually decreased since becoming CM. Sukhu also criticized derogatory remarks by Mandi MP Kangana Ranaut against students.
