Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu held the BJP accountable for the degradation of the health and education sectors in Himachal Pradesh, claiming that both areas were neglected during its tenure. While speaking at a public gathering in Hadeta village of the Nadaun constituency on Saturday, Sukhu said it was unfortunate that the state ranked 18th in the national education index. He assured the public that his government was dedicated to providing better health facilities and improving health infrastructure to ensure quality services for the people.
