‘Desperation’: Congress hits out at BJP MLA for mocking Himachal CM
ASocietal media carry by BJP MLA Sudhir Sharma, ostensibly targeting Chief government minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, has evoked tart criticism from Congress leaders in Himachal Pradesh.On Thursday, Sharma shared a photograph of the chief minister holding a sketch of his portrait, accompanied by the caption "Pradesh ka itihas mein pehli bar, cartoon ka sketch" (First time in the history of the state, a sketch of a cartoon).Reacting to the post, Naresh Chauhan, Principal Adviser (Media) to the Chief Minister, called it unfortunate. He suggested that Sharma's 'desperation' is only understood by him, questioning why he feels so 'troubled'.Speaking to the media, Chauhan emphasised that Himachal Pradesh is known for its political courtesy. He stated that legislators should respect the chief minister and that a spirit of brotherhood among politicians should prevail in the state.Chauhan remarked that such posts would not impact the chief minister's popularity, adding that criticism should be rooted in facts, as people generally do not appreciate personal attacks.Public Works Minister Vikramaditya Singh also weighed in during a discussion with media personnel, noting that the state's tradition and culture should be upheld."I believe that accusations and counter-accusations between the ruling party and the opposition should focus on facts and issues. However, personal attacks in the political landscape should be avoided," he stated.Responding to the criticism, Sudhir Sharma told PTI on Friday, "I have not mentioned the name of the chief minister in my post, and if Chauhan or anyone else thinks it is the chief minister, that is their interpretation."The post has received mixed reactions on social media, with some users criticising Sharma for being personal in his attack, while others commented on the declining standards of politics and governance in the state.Sharma was among the six Congress MLAs who cross-voted in favour of the BJP candidate Harsh Mahajan during the Rajya Sabha elections in February last year. He later joined the BJP and was re-elected from the Dharamshala assembly seat.
