Overview
- State BJP leaders announced a mass rally on December 4 at Dharamshala’s Zorawar Stadium to oppose the Congress government’s planned third‑anniversary programme.
- Leader of Opposition Jai Ram Thakur urged cancellation of the event, citing ongoing disaster conditions and claiming the Disaster Management Act remains in force.
- Thakur questioned the accounting of more than ₹5,500 crore he says the Centre allocated for disaster relief since 2023 and alleged heavy losses in lives, housing, crops and livestock.
- The opposition alleged financial and administrative breakdowns, including halted treasury payments above ₹10,000, delayed salaries and pensions, pending medical reimbursements, job losses exceeding 15,000, and stalled or discontinued schemes such as Himcare, Sahara, Shagun and Grihini Suvidha.
- Responding to the criticism, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said the three‑year programme is intended for disaster‑affected families and that rehabilitation and relief efforts continue.
