Parmar Slams HP Govt: Hotel Privatization – A Heritage Betrayal?
Vipin Singh Parmar, a prominent figure in Himachal Pradesh politics, has launched a scathing attack on the state government over its decision to privatize 14 HPTDC hotels. He termed the move a grave betrayal of the state’s heritage and the public trust reposed in the government.
Parmar questioned the government’s rationale, demanding greater transparency regarding the financial details of the privatization. He expressed serious reservations about the lack of clarity on the future of the hotels’ employees.
The leader also accused the government of failing to fulfill its earlier promises to revive and improve the underperforming hotels before resorting to privatization. He alleged a lack of effort to improve the properties’ condition and profitability.
This privatization move has sparked widespread debate in the state, raising concerns about the long-term impact on tourism and employment. The opposition is demanding a thorough investigation into the deal, alleging irregularities and a lack of due process. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining the political fallout of this controversial decision, particularly as the state gears up for upcoming elections.
