The comments come in the backdrop of recent Union minister JP Nadda’s remarks criticising the Congress government in Himachal, saying that the party cannot run the state government without the Centre’s support even for a day
“The government has extended these financial benefits to 8,883 eligible registered beneficiaries under the board ensuring their welfare through various schemes,” said Himachal Pradesh chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu
While, interacting with the media at New Delhi on Friday, Himachal Pradesh chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said such claims are baseless and should not be used for political purposes
Criticising the saffron party, Sukhu said that the party is working to divide the nation on religion and caste, while Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is concerned about the upliftment of the poor
