Kangana targeted Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Sukhu over the allocation of central government’s fund to the people saying Prime Minister Narendra Modi gives funds to Sukhu but he does not give it to the people.
She claimed that people displaced by the catastrophic flood haven’t got Rs 7 lakh allotted to them from the central government’s fund and demanded that a special enquiry be conducted.
“The condition of state government is visible to everyone. The displaced people haven’t got Rs 7 lakhs allotted to them from the central government’s fund. The state government has no sentiments for the people of the area. PM Modi will give the funds to Sukhuji but he will not give it to the people. A special enquiry should be conducted here.”
