Himachal Pradesh Industries Minister Harshwardhan Chauhan accused the central BJP government of financially squeezing the state, citing reduced grants and delayed disaster relief funds. He stated that promised aid has not been fully released, impacting restoration efforts after natural disasters that caused significant damage. Chauhan appealed for unity to fight for Himachal's rights, asserting that the state, reliant on central assistance due to its fragile economy, is not receiving its due support.
