Samosa Scandal in Himachal: Political Storm Brews Over Snacks

A political stir erupted in Himachal Pradesh after a BJP MLA ordered samosas for Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, criticizing the state government's focus on this trivial matter. The incident led to a probe by the CID, while BJP alleges neglect of larger issues like unemployment and financial crises.

A political controversy has overtaken Himachal Pradesh as a BJP MLA criticized the state's Congress government after ordering samosas online for Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu. The unusual move highlights the ongoing tension between the political parties.

The conflict erupted when a probe was launched to investigate why samosas intended for the chief minister were served to his security staff. While BJP MLA Ashish Sharma condemned the inquiry, claiming the government should focus on significant issues like unemployment, Congress leaders dismissed the inquiry as an internal CID matter.

This scandal is symptomatic of deeper grievances expressed by the BJP, which accuses the Congress government of ignoring major issues. The BJP has intensified its rhetoric, criticizing the government over deteriorating law-and-order and rising unemployment, while Congress leaders accused them of sensationalizing the incident for political gains.
