Himachal BJP Slams Govt for CM's Photos on Police Vehicles
In Himachal Pradesh, the opposition party, BJP, is upset because the government put pictures of the state's leader, Chief Minister Sukhu, on new police cars.
The BJP says this is a waste of money that could be used for better things.
They also believe the government is more interested in showing off than in stopping crime like drug problems and fights.
The Chief Minister had just started using 66 new police cars for different towns in the state.
These cars cost a lot of money and include electric ones and special types for catching speeders.
Himachal Pradesh BJP criticizes the state government for placing Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu's photos on new police patrol vehicles.
The BJP alleges this is a misuse of taxpayer money and prioritizes self-publicity over addressing crime.
Chief Minister Sukhu flagged off 66 new patrol vehicles across ten districts on November 4.
The new fleet, costing Rs 18.42 crore, includes electric, interceptor, and wrecker vehicles.
The BJP claims the state is facing increased crime, including gang wars and drug issues, which the government is failing to control.
