The Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu-led Congress government in Himachal Pradesh stands accused of presiding over a total collapse of law and order, as per BJP stalwart Jayaram Thakur. In an impassioned address that resonated deeply with locals, Thakur proclaimed the dawn of ‘mafia dominance,’ where criminals dictate terms and the administration remains a mute spectator.
Thakur backed his indictment with hard facts: a 30% rise in cognizable crimes year-on-year, surging complaints of illegal sand mining, and unchecked real estate mafias altering landscapes. ‘This isn’t governance; it’s surrender to the underworld,’ he declared, questioning why high-ranking officials implicated in scams still roam free.
He outlined a vision for revival, stressing community policing, swift justice, and zero tolerance for corruption. Thakur’s narrative framed the crisis as a betrayal of Himachal’s serene ethos, urging a mass movement to reclaim the state. The rally’s energy suggested his message is gaining traction amid whispers of disillusionment within Congress ranks.
As the opposition ramps up its campaign, the government scrambles to unveil anti-crime initiatives. But with public faith waning and electoral stakes high, Sukhu’s team must act decisively. Thakur’s bold stand has not only spotlighted the issue but also galvanized discourse on what true leadership means in turbulent times.
