Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu accused BJP MPs of being mute in New Delhi while loudly criticizing the state, likening their behavior to crows.
Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu took to a public forum in Himachal Pradesh to rebuke several BJP members of Parliament, saying they remain silent on national issues in New Delhi but raise a ruckus in the hills, "caw like crows" when the state is discussed.
Sukhu made the remarks during a press briefing in Shimla, where he was addressing concerns over recent central policies that he claims adversely affect Himachal's development. He highlighted specific instances where the MPs, according to him, avoided questioning the Union government yet loudly opposed state initiatives.
The BJP leadership has not issued an official response yet, but party spokespeople in Delhi have previously defended the legislators, emphasizing their commitment to both national and regional interests. Political analysts note that the exchange underscores growing friction between the ruling state government and the opposition at the centre.
The episode adds to a series of recent confrontations between Himachal's Congress-led administration and the central government, with both sides accusing each other of politicising development projects and welfare schemes.
No further statements were recorded from the BJP MPs mentioned, and the matter is expected to surface in upcoming legislative debates in both the state assembly and Parliament.
