Himachal Pradesh leaders clash over RDG discontinuation, with Sukhu citing central discretion and Thakur accusing BJP of politicizing the issue.
On February 24, 2026, Himachal Pradesh's Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu and Leader of Opposition Jairam Thakur clashed over the future of the state’s Revenue Deficit Grant (RDG), with Thakur stating the grant has been discontinued for all states, not just Himachal, and criticizing Sukhu for bypassing central ministers.
Sukhu maintained the RDG remains under central discretion, noting only a Finance Commission mention, and accused the BJP of politicizing the issue despite past high grants.
He highlighted rising state debt and criticized the Delhi Police’s late-night raid on Himachal Sadan and the arrest of Youth Congress leaders as unjustified.
Both leaders emphasized political strategy in their responses, with Sukhu confirming Congress leadership will decide the Rajya Sabha candidate.
