BJP MP Anurag Thakur has publicly accused Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu of transforming the state’s official residence, Himachal Bhawan, into a political hub for the Congress party.
In a sharp political rebuke, BJP Member of Parliament Anurag Thakur has accused Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu of turning Himachal Bhawan, the state’s official residence, into a Congress political stronghold.
Himachal Bhawan, located in Shimla, has long served as the ceremonial home and office of the state’s chief executive. Thakur alleges that the premises are now being used to facilitate Congress party activities, undermining the neutrality expected of the site.
During a press conference, Thakur said the transformation was a deliberate attempt to consolidate Congress influence in the state. He called for an investigation into the alleged misuse of the property.
The accusation comes amid rising tensions between the BJP and Congress in Himachal Pradesh, with both parties vying for control of the state’s political narrative ahead of upcoming elections.
