RDG row in HP: LoP mulls privilege motion against Dy CM

Shimla, Feb 17 (UNI) Leader of Opposition Jai Ram Thakur who was accused by the Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihotri for using his political influence to stop the central funds for Congress-ruled Himachal on the floor of the house during the Budget session, is mulling a privilege motion against the Dy CM.
Thakur said that the way he was being accused by the Dy CM in the house by referring his name amounts to breach of privileges. He said that the state belongs to all the citizens irrespective of party affiliations and not merely to Chief Minister and Deputy CM, said Thakur, alleging that the duo are trying to project them as the only well-wishers of the state.
'' We all BJP MLAs and MPs are trying our level best to restore the discontinued Revenue Deficit Grants by the the Centre. But Chief Minister and Deputy CM are trying to humiliate us by stating that we are not in favour of RDG. ''
