Shimla: The Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Monday ahead of the budget session held a meeting of the Congress Legislative Party (CLP) and said that Bharatiya Janata Party is trying to blame congress for their own failures.
He also accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of shifting blame on the Congress government for their failures and staging walkouts during assembly sessions.
Addressing media persons, CM Sukhu launched a scathing attack on the BJP, accusing them of shifting blame onto the Congress government while conveniently forgetting their past mistakes.
“The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is now trying to shift the blame on us for their own failures. I am happy that the BJP attended the all-party meeting before the Assembly session this time. Earlier, they planned walkouts and didn’t even show up for discussions. Now, they are demanding an extension of the session, which exposes their double standards,” CM Sukhu said.
The Chief Minister criticised the BJP for consistently walking out during Assembly sessions when discussions were crucial. He said it is ironic how the BJP, which previously avoided participation, is now urging the government to extend the session.
“Earlier, whenever the Assembly Session occurred, the BJP’s primary job was to stage walkouts. Our job has always been to serve the people. Today, they are demanding an extension of the session. If they agree to sit through the session, we are more than willing to extend the proceedings till 7:00 PM every day or even prolong the session by five more days,” Sukhu stated.
The Congress CM further added that the BJP had walked out of the last all-party meeting, showing a lack of commitment to constructive dialogue.
He accused the BJP high command of dictating terms to their state leaders, which led to their absence from important discussions.
“In the last all-party meeting, the BJP chose to walk out. Later, I learned from some Congress members that their high command scolded them for not attending the meeting. This clearly shows their internal rift. BJP is now divided into five factions in Himachal Pradesh, and their internal conflict is more visible than ever,” CM Sukhu said.
