BJP leader Jai Ram Thakur accused Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu of deception regarding disaster relief efforts. Thakur alleged that Sukhu made unfulfilled promises on relief and rehabilitation for those affected by the recent monsoon calamity.

Thakur criticized Sukhu's assertions made during a public address in Mandi, claiming the chief minister's statements were misleading to the waiting victims. He argued that Sukhu's leadership has failed to address the immediate needs of the disaster-stricken population.

Further, Thakur defended the prior BJP government's investments and land allocations, contending these were standard practices aimed at boosting industrial investments. He pointed out a negative trend of industries leaving the state, which he attributed to current administration policies.
