Sona Mohapatra Urges Rahul Gandhi to Improve Himachal Pradesh Before Repairing Democracy
Singer Sona Mohapatra criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for calling to 'repair democracy' without addressing governance issues in Himachal Pradesh, a Congress-ruled state. After returning to the state following nine years, she expressed shock at garbage-strewn hills and polluted rivers, urging Gandhi to make Himachal Pradesh a model of governance. Her remarks responded to Gandhi's call for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation and the government's change to restore democracy. The coverage remains largely factual, highlighting both Gandhi's political stance and Mohapatra's critique.
