BJP legislator Sudhir Sharma has publicly condemned the Himachal Pradesh government's proposal to create new districts, calling it impractical and politically motivated.
Sudhir Sharma, a Bharatiya Janata Party MLA from Himachal Pradesh, voiced strong opposition to the state government's recent announcement to carve out additional districts. Speaking at a press briefing, Sharma described the proposal as ill‑timed and lacking a clear administrative rationale.
The government’s plan, unveiled last week, aims to improve local governance by creating several new districts across the hilly state. While officials argue that the restructuring will bring services closer to remote populations, Sharma contended that the move appears driven by political calculations rather than genuine developmental needs.
He urged the administration to halt the reorganisation until a comprehensive impact study is conducted, warning that premature implementation could strain limited resources and disrupt existing administrative frameworks. The BJP legislator called for a transparent dialogue with stakeholders before any further steps are taken.
