Congress files charge sheet against Dhumal Government

SHIMLA: The Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee led by the Leader of Opposition in the Vidhan Sabha, Vidya Stokes, and State party president Kaul Singh Thakur on Friday submitted a detailed charge sheet to the State Governor against the 16-month-old BJP government led by Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal.

The charge sheet, supported by documents, lists acts of omission and commission, allegations of corruption, charges pertaining to the law and order situation and “misrule of BJP ministers”. The five-member committee which prepared the charge sheet was headed by Congress MLA and former Speaker Gangu Ram Musafir.

The charge sheet alleges that the Chief Minister is promoting family rule and building huge properties inside and outside the State. Mr. Dhumal’s assets are grossly disproportionate to his known sources of income, it is alleged.
