Shimla: In a press briefing today, Principal Media Advisor to the Chief Minister, Naresh Chauhan, asserted that the State Government and the Congress party are aligned in combating what they perceive as the BJP's discriminatory approach towards the people of Himachal Pradesh during disasters.

He criticized the BJP's financial management, claiming the state's finances were left in disarray.
Chauhan questioned the BJP's track record during its previous regime, asserting that the opposition lacks substantial achievements to present to the electorate.
He criticized the interim budget for not addressing the state's financial concerns, particularly in promoting tourism and industries, leaving the middle class adversely affected.
