India, March 22 -- Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Saturday presented a Rs 54,928-crore budget for the financial year 2026-27 in the State assembly.

Sukhu, who was presenting his fourth budget, started his speech by saying that the discontinuation of the revenue deficit grant (RDG) has impacted the annual budget and accused the BJP for not supporting the State's interests. "The opposition BJP has not sided with the State in these hard times and history will never forget them," Sukhu said, drawing immediate reaction from the BJP members.
