NEW DELHI, July 28: The Congress Sunday accused the central government of practising “double standards” in allocating funds to flood-afflicted states, alleging that it was exacting “revenge” on the people of Himachal Pradesh for not voting for the BJP in the assembly elections.
Congress general secretary (In-charge, Communications) Jairam Ramesh said, “Yesterday, the self-anointed non-biological Prime Minister said that Viksit Bharat depends on Viksit states. Wow, such a profundity. If only he put the taxpayer’s money where his mouth is!”
“After the disastrous floods of 2023, the government of Himachal Pradesh repeatedly demanded that the Union government declare the floods a national calamity’“ a plea which Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman repeatedly rejected,” Ramesh said in a post on X.
