BJP spending crores on branding one person: Rawat

Monday, 31 March 2014 | PNS | Chandigarh

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat on Sunday lambasted the BJP saying that the BJP is trying to win elections with false promises and slogans, but Congress is contesting elections on development.

Attacking BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, Rawat said he could not unite his own State, how can he unite the entire country. “BJP is spending crores of rupees on branding one person, which is much more than the expenditure on campaigning by all the parties,” he said, adding that Modi has big corporate houses with him but doesn’t understand the problems of the poor.

The Chief Minister while addressing a rally at Sector 40 in support of Congress candidate, Pawan Kumar Bansal said, “Modi is more concerned about wearing designer clothes and even his beard cut and turban is different in every rally, which shows he is more concerned about his appearance and not about the welfare of people.

Referring to the Narmada Sagar project in Gujarat, he said the money which was allocated for the said project was diverted to facilitate the Ambanis. He also blamed the BJP for politicising the natural calamity which destroyed parts of State last year, adding that the opposition was trying to politicise even sensitive border issues.

Appealing people to vote for Pawan Kumar Bansal, the Chief Minister said, “When you caste your vote you have to see that you have to vote for the future of the country, and only Congress can ensure a bright future.
