Media Advisor Blasts BJP's 'Mafia Raj' Protest in Himachal Pradesh

Naresh Chauhan, media advisor to Himachal Pradesh CM, criticized BJP for protesting over 'mafia raj', accusing it of flourishing under BJP's rule. He claimed Congress's tenure curbed mafia activities and suggested BJP's rally was a diversion tactic from pressing issues, showing BJP's isolation and frustration.

Naresh Chauhan, media advisor to Himachal Pradesh's Chief Minister, expressed strong criticism toward the BJP for organizing a protest in Shimla against the alleged 'mafia raj'. He argued that such mafia activities thrived during BJP's rule, not under Congress's current administration.

Chauhan highlighted that the BJP's assertions had been thoroughly addressed within the Legislative Assembly by Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, along with other government officials, outlining the steps taken against mafias and the government's future development plans for the state.

The media advisor referred to the BJP's protest as an ineffectual effort to shift focus from critical matters, disclosing the party's intellectual shortfall and its growing isolation, which has led to mounting frustration over their weakened position in the Assembly.
