Shimla: Rural development and panchayati raj minister Anirudh Singh and his cabinet colleague Yadavinder Goma on Sunday attacked BJP MP Anurag Thakur, demanding that he “stop misleading the people of the state on the issue of discontinuing revenue deficit grant (RDG)”.In a joint statement, the two ministers said Anurag Thakur’s claim that the central govt decided to discontinue RDG 20 years ago was completely baseless.
They challenged Thakur to make public even a single letter from the central govt in this regard. The duo alleged that the BJP MP was “distorting facts solely for political gain”. They also asked Thakur to clarify whether he supported the discontinuation of RDG in Himachal Pradesh.They stated that RDG was a constitutional right of Himachal Pradesh, not a charity.MSID:: 128385894 413 |
