In a political controversy brewing in Himachal Pradesh, former Union Minister Anurag Thakur has alleged that the Congress government has accrued loans amounting to over Rs 27,000 crore in just 18 months. He made these claims during rallies across his Hamirpur constituency, including chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu's home seat, Nadaun.

Thakur criticized the state government's financial management, stating that despite the burgeoning debt, there is a lack of budget for developmental work. He noted persistent issues like poor road conditions and the withdrawal of previous government subsidies on essential services, pointing specifically to electricity and water.
