Former minister Suresh Bhardwaj has launched a scathing attack on the Congress government over decisions to appoint six Chief Parliamentary Secretaries and increase VAT on diesel.Bhardwaj said that Congress has started a “Kharcha Express” to pamper its leaders’ by burdening the general public.The former Minister said that before the cabinet expansion on Sunday,the government appointed six MLAs as Chief Parliamentary Secretaries (CPS).Before that,the government enhanced VAT on Diesel to make it costlier for common people.Himachal Pradesh government has increased the VAT on diesel by Rs.3.01,earlier the VAT on diesel used to be Rs.4.40,which has now been increased by the state government to Rs.7.40.The increase in the price of diesel is likely to increase the freight charges in the state and its burden on the farmers is also going to increase. Diesel is now going to cost Rs.86 per litre in Himachal.It seems that the government has adopted the model of raising money by burdening people to run its Kharcha Express.The former minister said that the Congress government denotified several institutions opened by the previous BJP government across the state citing budget constraints but appointed six CPS today.The anti-public face of Congress is exposed today.He said that a Congress leader is doing a yatra to save his existence and talks about inflation. They should also tell the people that petrol and diesel are still the costliest in the Congress-ruled state.Himachal was not included in the tally of states with high fuel prices till now.
