Former Congress leader presently now in the Bharatiya Janata Party, Rekha Arya lambasted the Congress-led State Government accusing the Chief Minister Harish Rawat of restricting the Congress to his select acquaintances. The lady politician was speaking at the BJP scheduled caste Swabhiman Sammelan held in Bindukhatta on Sunday. Speaking on the occasion, Arya said that the Someshwar Vidhan Sabha constituency area had suffered due to being neglected by the State Government.
She said, “Apart from neglecting the constituency, they also came down to horsetrading, due to which I had to leave the Congress and join the BJP for the respect of the Dalits and other backward sections of society.” Arya went on to say that in the past she used to have a lot of respect for the chief minister Harish Rawat in the past but now feels disappointed due to protracted negligence towards Someshwar constituency and other factors.
