Avoid personal attack in political discourse: Vikramaditya Singh

PWD Minister Vikramaditya Singh took a swipe at Kangana Ranaut, the BJP MP from Mandi, while condemning the objectionable social media post shared by Dharamsala MLA Sudhir Sharma on Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu. “The debate between the government and opposition is a must. But one should avoid personal attacks in political discourse,” said the PWD Minister.

The minister further said some leaders in the state were loose cannons. “There’s a woman leader who says whatever she feels like. However, it doesn’t mean we will respond in the same language. We have to keep in mind the culture of our political discourse,” Singh said without naming the actress-turned-politician.

The minister further appealed to the opposition members to stick to issue-based criticism of the government and avoid personal attacks.

Talking about others issues, the minister said 40 roads were still closed across the state. “The state has endured massive damage this monsoon, and several roads were affected. These roads will be opened shortly,” he said.
