Negi’s Flood Response Sparks BJP Ire: Demand for Minister’s Dismissal
The Himachal Pradesh BJP has demanded the immediate dismissal of state minister Jagat Singh Negi, accusing him of gross negligence in handling the aftermath of the recent devastating floods. The party alleges a significant delay in his visits to affected areas.
The BJP further criticizes Negi for the alleged inadequacy of relief aid provided to flood victims. They claim his administration has fallen woefully short of meeting the urgent needs of the people.
Adding fuel to the fire, the BJP points to the filing of FIRs against protestors demanding better relief as further evidence of the minister’s callousness. This action, they say, is unacceptable and highlights a complete disconnect with the suffering populace.
The party has threatened statewide protests if the Chief Minister fails to act against Negi. They have highlighted their own extensive relief efforts, contrasting them sharply with what they describe as the government’s inaction.
This escalating political crisis comes at a critical juncture for Himachal Pradesh, still grappling with the aftermath of the floods. The BJP’s aggressive stance underscores the growing public discontent and raises serious questions about the state government’s handling of the disaster relief. The coming days will be crucial in determining the Chief Minister’s response and the future of Minister Negi.
