Priyanka Gandhi Accuses Centre of Ignoring Disaster-Hit Himachal Pradesh

Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has accused the Indian central government of discriminating against disaster-hit Himachal Pradesh, citing inadequate aid in response to recent heavy rains. Speaking at a public rally, Vadra claimed the BJP-ruled Centre was neglecting Congress-led states.

The critique came during a politically significant event on the unveiling of a statue of the late Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh, a prominent Congress figure, in Shimla. Senior Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, along with her daughter Priyanka, paid tribute to Singh at the ceremony.

Vadra underscored a correlation between fair governance and development by my name-dropping key Congress leaders like Nehru and Indira Gandhi, contrasting the BJP's alleged election-focused tactics. She called for prioritizing honesty and truth in politics.
