Tensions flared in the Himachal Pradesh Assembly as BJP members staged a walkout after Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu's budget reply for 2026-27.
Sukhu criticized the former BJP government's financial strategies, alleging that substantial fund allocations were misleading and the state inherited immense debt. The controversial claims led to intense debates in the assembly.
A scrutiny into irregularities in the Himcare scheme further amplified the discord. The discontinuation of the Revenue Deficit Grant and concerns over deteriorating law and order heightened the assembly disputes.
