Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National spokesperson Dr Bizay Sonkar Shastri on Monday goofed up while addressing a press conference here by saying that ‘Pathargarhi’ (which is a movement by tribals) in Chhattisgarh was a ‘village’.
“It is a village where people of a particular caste live”, he said.
The Congress party in Chhattisgarh is supporting ‘Pathargarhi’ which is an anti-national movement, he added.
BJP leaders from the State — Shrichand Sundarani and Sanjay Shrivastava later corrected his statement and provided a clarification.
Shastri further questioned that though the Panchayats are constitutional but whether a ‘Gram Sabha’ is higher than NationIJ
Bizay, a lok Sabha MP from Saidpur in Uttar Pradesh and also Chairman of National Commission for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe, came down heavily on All India Congress Committee (AICC) Chief Rahul Gandhi and criticised his movement ‘Bharat Bachao Andolan’.
“It must be clarified that after 70 years of country’s independence from whom is he (Rahul Gandhi) want to save the country fromIJ”, he asked.
The Congress party has always misguided the people of the country, he alleged.
The BJP National Spokesperson also charged that the Congress party was misleading the people that BJP was going to end reservations in jobs in the country.
“It is a constitutional arrangement for social equity and would be continuing till the goal is achieved even if we have to wait for it for another 200 years”, he said.
