    Harsh Mahajan Demands CM’s Apology Over Remarks on Zila Parishad, BDC Representatives

    Shimla, June 5:

    BJP Rajya Sabha MP Harsh Mahajan on Friday criticized the Chief Minister over his reported remarks concerning Zila Parishad and Block Development Committee (BDC) elections, alleging that the statement was disrespectful to elected representatives and the voters who elected them.

    Addressing the media in Shimla, Mahajan said local self-government institutions, including Zila Parishads, BDCs and Panchayats, form the foundation of democracy and represent the aspirations of the people. He alleged that any attempt to diminish their significance amounts to disrespecting democratic values.

    The BJP leader claimed that the Congress had suffered a setback in recent Zila Parishad elections and that the Chief Minister’s remarks reflected the party’s frustration over the electoral outcome. According to Mahajan, the results indicated growing public dissatisfaction with the state government.

    He further alleged that instead of introspecting over the poll results, the Congress leadership was attempting to undermine the public mandate. He said democratic institutions and elected representatives deserved respect irrespective of political affiliations.

    Commenting on recent political controversies surrounding religious slogans, Mahajan accused the Congress of repeatedly targeting issues linked to Hindu faith and Sanatan traditions. He said “Jai Shri Ram” represents the faith and devotion of millions and should not be viewed through a political lens.

    Mahajan questioned why Congress leaders appeared uncomfortable with slogans associated with Lord Ram and alleged that such positions reflected an anti-Sanatan mindset. He maintained that Lord Ram occupies a central place in India’s cultural and civilizational heritage.

    The BJP MP urged the Congress to respect democratic verdicts and refrain from making statements that, according to him, undermine elected institutions or hurt public sentiments. He also demanded that the Chief Minister publicly apologise for his remarks.

    Mahajan said the BJP remains committed to protecting democratic values, cultural traditions and the sentiments of the people of Himachal Prades

    BJP Slams Sukhu Over ‘One-Day Value’ Remark, Demands Public Apology

    Shimla June 5

    The BJP has launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu over his alleged remarks regarding elected Zila Parishad and Block Development Committee (BDC) members, describing the statement as an insult to democracy, Panchayati Raj institutions, and the mandate of the people.

    BJP leaders said the Chief Minister’s comments expose an “arrogant mindset” and a lack of respect for grassroots democracy. They argued that elected Zila Parishad and BDC representatives are not individuals with “one-day value,” but public representatives chosen by thousands of voters across Himachal Pradesh.

    “The Chief Minister has insulted not only elected representatives but also the lakhs of voters who exercised their democratic right and placed their trust in them,” BJP leaders said.

    The party alleged that Sukhu’s remarks stem from frustration over the Congress party’s poor performance in Panchayati Raj elections, where a large majority of winning candidates were reportedly backed by the BJP. According to BJP leaders, Congress failed to officially field candidates in many areas because it feared defeat and was aware of growing public dissatisfaction with the state government’s performance and its unfulfilled guarantees.

    They further claimed that the Chief Minister’s statement reflects the growing disconnect between the Congress government and the people of Himachal Pradesh. “When ministers and legislators within the government are themselves struggling for relevance and coordination, the Chief Minister has no moral authority to belittle elected representatives who have secured the people’s mandate,” they said.

    BJP leaders reminded Sukhu that he himself reached the post of Chief Minister through the democratic process and should therefore uphold the dignity of every elected institution. They demanded an immediate withdrawal of the statement and a public apology to all elected Zila Parishad and BDC members.

    “If the Chief Minister fails to retract his remarks and apologize, the BJP will launch a statewide movement against this insult to democratic values and Panchayati Raj institutions,” the party warned.
