Virbhadra Singh now turns to Narendra Modi for central indulgence

"Had Himachal got equal treatment with overall increase of 126 percent for the country as a whole, it would have received an additional Rs.10,725 Crore over a period of five years between 2010 and 2015," the ministers added.

Dhumal said the 15-month government has so far focussed on registering fabricated cases against political opponents and has failed to bring quality in the education and health sectors.

Official sources said the chief minister, in a rare show of strength, took his entire cabinet Sep 9 last year to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, for the second time since assuming power in December 2012, for central indulgence but failed to get any big financial bonanza.

Virbhadra Singh, who has been credited with reforms in the education, social, infrastructure and power sectors, has served as chief minister for over 16 years.
