Refuting the charges of State BJP chief, the media advisor of Chief Minister Harish Rawat, Surendra Kumar said that ED is an agency of the Central Government and it should tell the names of Ministers who are under its investigation, otherwise BJP leaders should apologise to the people of the State for false propaganda.
He said that if the BJP leaders are of the view that process of auction of mining leases under the new mining policy is wrong then they should also question the Central Government which is also auctioning coal blocks. Kumar claimed that the mining policy of State is transparent. He said that the Char Dham Yatra is back on track now and if the BJP leaders are having some suggestions then they should share them with the Government. He however added that the BJP leaders should also suggest Gujarat Government where more than 600 people have died in flash floods recently.
