BJP hits out at Congress over ‘grim financial situation’ in Himachal

“Among the nine hill states, Himachal Pradesh is worst affected by economic distress. Wherever the Congress goes, it brings misery along with it. (Congress MP) Rahul Gandhi used to say that money would swiftly be credited to people’s accounts. The money did not come, though bankruptcy has come swiftly,” BJP national spokesperson Prem Shukla said at a press conference at the party headquarters here.

Shukla also attacked Siddaramaiah-led Karnataka government over alleged land allotment irregularities in the state, demanded an apology from Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy for casting aspersions on the process of grant of bail to BRS leader K Kavitha in the Delhi excise policy case, accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for trying to “spread anarchy” through her statement that “the fire BJP wants to start in Bengal will not spare Assam, Bihar, Manipur or Odisha”.

“The Congress and INDI alliance governments have become masters of those who indulge in corruption, immoral acts and rape. Mamata Banerjee threatened common people and students in Bengal. She said this fire would reach Delhi travelling through Odisha, Assam and North East,” Shukla said. “Rahul Gandhi has already threatened to set the country on fire. Before Lok Sabha elections, Akhilesh Yadav had also threatened to set the country on fire…,” he said.
