Satti said there is a visible lack of coordination between the government and the Congress party and the number of ministerial aspirants is increasing as chief minister Sukhvinder Sukhu delays a cabinet expansion.

Not only the promise of providing one lakh jobs remain unfulfilled, thousands of people have been terminated on the pretext that the government did not have money to pay them, he claimed.

Meanwhile, state BJP president Rajiv Bidal criticised the government for allegedly not making proper fire safety arrangements at the Kullu Dussehra festival and said deities being gutted was not a good omen.

Several tents housing the 'rath' (chariot) of deities and a few shops were gutted in a fire that had broken out at Dussehra ground in front of the Court complex in Kullu late Friday night. Two persons had sustained burn injuries in the incident.
