However, he claimed that the Centre failed to respond positively to this appeal.<\/p>\n<p>Thakur further termed the reported discontinuation of the RDG (Revenue Deficit Grant) for disaster-affected Himachal as a \u201cmajor blow\u201d to the state\u2019s financial stability. He described the move as an attack on the interests of the people of Himachal Pradesh.<\/p>\n<p>The Congress leader asserted that the Union Budget has overlooked the pressing needs of the disaster-hit state, leaving its citizens feeling neglected and disappointed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BJP MPs Failed to Safeguard Himachal\u2019s Interests in Union Budget, says Congress leader Darshan Thakur.\u00a0 &nbsp;
