Himachal CM failed to secure special package from Centre: Dutt

Shimla, June 11

AICC secretary and co-incharge for Himachal Sunil Dutt today said despite huge job loss and the tourism sector being hit miserably due to Covid, the BJP regime in Himachal had failed to seek a special financial package from the Centre.

Talking to media persons here today, Dutt lamented that the BJP regime in Himachal had not come out with a bailout package for Covid-hit economy, especially for the tourism and transport sector.

He said the Congress like any other responsible political party wants to play the role of a constructive opposition. “We should not politicise any disaster or a situation like Covid but when we see people suffering, we are duty bound to raise issues of complete mismanagement in hospitals as people died for want of oxygen and beds,” he remarked.

Dutt said the double engine regime of Modi and Jai Ram had completely failed to tackle the Covid pandemic and had taken all anti-people decisions. — TNS
