Sona Mohapatra Urges Rahul Gandhi to Address Himachal Pradesh Issues Before Democracy RepairPreviousNext

Singer Sona Mohapatra criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for calling to 'repair democracy' while urging him to first address environmental issues in Himachal Pradesh, a Congress-ruled state. She highlighted garbage-strewn hills and polluted rivers after returning there following nine years. Rahul Gandhi's call for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation and government change sparked protests demanding electoral reforms. Coverage notes Mohapatra's call for improved governance in Himachal Pradesh before political demands, reflecting concerns over local administration amid national political debates.
