The Bharatiya Janata Party has opined that the Congress’ campaign against the state government is merely a gimmick meant to divert the focus away from its internal strife. Reacting to the Congress declaring its plan to undertake a Laltain Yatra across the state, the BJP State media in-charge Devendra Bhasin said that this is nothing more than a political gimmick. He said, “At present the Congress party is in dire straits with its internal factionalism coming all out in the open. Some leaders of the Congress are talking about a campaign while some others are talking of taking out some Yatra. At the same time, a national level party leader from Uttarakhand states that he is suspended from the Uttarakhand unit of the Congress and is hence going to Assam.”
Referring to the Congress leaders talking about price rise, Bhasin said that all essential commodities are available at proper rates today. The price of cooking gas was raised slightly due to international factors but it is still less than the Rs 900 for which it was available when the Congress was in power. The price of onion which had increased due to natural causes is now almost back to normal. These days, there is no shortage of any commodity nor is any item being black marketed. However, black marketing was rampant during the time of the Congress government.
When it comes to employment, the state government is taking concrete measures. Along with facilitating self-employment, the procedure of appointments in various government departments is also underway, added the BJP State media in-charge.
