The Himachal Pradesh BJP on Friday (April 3, 2026) demanded a probe by a sitting High Court Judge into the alleged irregularities in the Chester Hills project, a high-end housing scheme in Solan, and termed the acting Chief Secretary holding a press conference to “defend” himself “unprecedented”.
On March 31, Chief Secretary Sanjay Gupta held a presser to dismiss the allegations against the Chester Hills housing project as baseless, and said that the truth will prevail once the investigation is complete.
On March 30, the CPI(M) had claimed violation of land laws in the project, and demanded an SIT probe into alleged land mafia activities, including benami land deals.
State BJP chief spokesperson Randhir Sharma said on Friday (April 3, 2026) that the party demands a high-level inquiry by a sitting High Court Judge into the violations in the Chester Hills housing project.
“When officers themselves come forward to justify allegations and the government remains silent, it indicates that not just something, but everything is wrong.
