The president of the State unit of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Ajay Bhatt has strongly refuted the claim of Congress party that its leaders and workers are being harassed in Uttarakhand. He was talking to newsmen at his residence on Tuesday.
On the day a delegation of Congress leaders led by President of the state unit of the party Pritam Singh met the state Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat and expressed concern on the harassment of congress workers.
When asked to comment on the meeting and charge of the Congress party, Bhatt said that the concerns of the Congress leaders are unfounded.
He in turn charged the Congress party for indulging in such things when in power. Bhatt reminded that during the Congress government the constituencies represented by the BJP leaders were deliberately ignored and the BJP legislators had to protest against discrimination in the state assembly. He claimed that the BJP government believes in discrimination of none.
Bhatt said that contrary to the claim of the congress leaders, the party workers of BJP often complain that they are being ignored. The state BJP President claimed that there is no resentment in the BJP after recent restructuring of the districts units of the party. On the question that no woman figured in the list of new district Presidents released recently, Bhatt said that proper representation to women would be given in the party’s organisational set up.
