Nadda Criticizes Himachal Govt Over Cement Price Hike
Imagine the government is trying to make things cheaper for people, like lowering the price of cement.
The central government did this by changing some taxes.
But, in Himachal Pradesh, the local government is said to be doing the opposite – making cement more expensive.
A leader from a different political party is upset about this, saying it's not fair to the people, especially since the area has recently dealt with natural disasters.
He points out that cement is cheaper in other nearby states and accuses the local government of being insensitive and of raising other costs like water and electricity.
JP Nadda, a BJP leader, criticized the Himachal Pradesh government.
Nadda accused the Himachal Pradesh government of increasing cement prices.
The central government recently revised GST rates to benefit citizens.
Nadda said the state's actions counteract the central government's efforts.
He criticized the Himachal Pradesh government's decision as insensitive.
