Dehra Dun: Accusing the ruling BJP in
Uttarakhand of "misusing" Central funds, Congress on Saturday
alleged the state government has scrapped power projects under
its "Hindu agenda".
Congress in-charge of election affairs in the state,
Chaudhary Birendra Singh, also alleged that the ruling party
had done nothing to tap the vast potential of tourism in
Uttarakhand.
Citing a report of Wikileaks, the Congress General
Secretary accused the BJP government for scrapping power
projects of the state under its Hindu agenda.
The state government is guilty of "misusing" the Central
funds allotted for various projects, he said while interacting
with media persons.
Singh claimed that Khanduri government had used funds
allotted for fighting Naxalism to arrest people of Nepalese
origin and portrayed them as Naxals.
Confident of coming to power with a clear majority, Singh
claimed that party would win 35-40 seats in the 70-member
house.
"The Congress is getting an overwhelming support from the
masses and the party would win at least 35-40 seats to form
the next government," Singh added.
