The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has raised significant concerns regarding the Himachal Pradesh government's operations in light of the recent Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) findings related to the death of Vimal Negi, a chief engineer at Himachal Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (HPPCL). BJP state general secretary Sanjeev Katwal highlighted that the details from the CBI chargesheet, which suggest that Negi faced harassment from senior officials, have deeply unsettled the state. The investigation links his death to undue pressure regarding the Rs 220 crore Pekhubela Solar Power Project in Una district, where allegations of favoritism amounting to Rs 12.73 crore to a contractor have surfaced. Negi was reported missing on March 10 and was found dead in the Satluj River on March 18. Katwal criticized the alleged issuance of fake completion certificates and manipulation of records, demanding transparency and accountability from the Congress-led state government. He emphasized that this case transcends personal tragedy, calling for a thorough investigation and strict action against those responsible for any wrongdoing.
