Accusing the opposition Congress of spreading confusion in the public about the ongoing anti encroachment drive, the president of Uttarakhand BJP Mahendra Bhatt has said the local population will not get affected by the drive.
He said that the drive is undertaken on the orders of the High Court and assured that loss of not even a single inch of land will occur to the local population in the drive while respecting all the legal issues.
Interacting with the media persons on Wednesday, Bhatt said that since the issue is related to compliance of order of HC, the government is moving forward after careful consideration of all the legal issues and taking steps in public interest. He said that some political parties are creating legal tangles while remaining in the background. The State BJP president said that the person who took the issue to HC has no relationship with Uttarakhand. Bhatt said that similar attempts were made in the issue of reservation to the women of State in government jobs.
He said that the BJP government is determined for the public's concerns and will not allow loss to the local population, their employment and business. He said that the Congress leaders should understand the seriousness of the situation and they should refrain from politics in the interest of the State on the issue.
