Mandi, August 24
BJP MLA from Mandi Sadar Anil Sharma has accused Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur of bias over development in Mandi district.
He alleged that a huge amount of the district budget was being spent on the development in Seraj, the home constituency of the CM, and Dharampur, the home constituency of Jal Shakti Minister Mahender Singh Thakur in the district.
"The lowest amount of budget is being spent on the Mandi Sadar segment, which shows that the CM is biased over development," he added.
Anil said, "According to official figures in 2021-22, a budget of Rs 12.20 crore was sanctioned for Mandi district, Rs 7.76 crore for Kangra and Rs 7.79 crore for Shimla. Of the Rs 12.20 crore, the Mandi Sadar segment got merely Rs 38 lakh, Dharampur Rs 69 lakh and Seraj Rs 6 crore." — TNS
