Taking a jibe at Virbhadra Singh, BJP MP Anurag Thakur today said the Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister is "popular" for all corruption cases against him and law and order situation in the state.
Thakur said the state has been "impacted negatively" in the Congress regime due to alleged selfish and indifferent attitude of the chief minister.
"Singh along with his family has been involved in number of corruption cases right from the time he assumed office in 2013," the BJP MP said in a statement issued today.
Not even once has the chief minister come on record and made a clear statement about his involvement in these cases, the Hamirpur MP said.
"The people did not elect him for making the state arrive at this juncture and this is not how people want their state to be famous for and the popularity of their CM to be owing to his disproportionate assets and the corruption cases in his name," he added.
