C R Kesavan questioned the silence of the Congress leadership, saying that the Gandhi family have abandoned the people of Himachal Pradesh. "We have read in papers from time to time that they (Gandhi family) go to Shimla for a vacation, but now why have they abandoned the good people of Himachal Pradesh? Mr Rahul Gandhi, who comments on everything under the sun, even in Timbuktu, why is he maintaining such a steely silence on the financial catastrophe by his own Congress government in Himachal Pradesh?", he added.
