JAMMU, Aug 23: Coming down heavily on leaders of J&K Panthers Party for their anti-BJP statements in recent past, BJP State spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan today said these utterances are out of their sheer frustration and the allegations so made are baseless.
In a statement issued here today Rattan said that for quiet some time now, it has been observed that the leaders of Panthers Party, after being defeated badly by BJP candidates in the last Assembly election, have become more vocal and active in organizing dharnas and protests and criticizing the Coalition Government particularly BJP, on one pretext or the other, albeit without any substance. Change in the behaviour and conduct of senior leaders of this Party is the outcome of mere frustration and grouse, they have been nourishing against BJP, Balbir said.
He said that the recent allegation of Harsh Dev Singh, Panther Party Chairman, that corruption is fast spreading in the State and that BJP must ensure probity within its flock, is one such instance that goes on to say that Panther leaders are attacking BJP on baseless grounds. “While the BJP appreciates the concern of Harsh Dev Singh on corruption and his demand for enquiry, the party, however wants that it should start from the period when he was Education Minister that witnessed a number of complaints against transfer policy in his Department and corrupt practices in the entire hierarchy of the department, the BJP leader remarked.
He also criticized the remarks of Panthers Party president Balwant Singh Mankotia that “Tiranga Yatras” being conducted by BJP is causing traffic congestion.
