Launching a scathing attack on Congress’s proposed Nyay Yatra, BJP state media chief, Manveer Singh Chauhan said that a party demanding justice must first account for its own controversial track record and past governance. “The double standards of Congress politics are now evident to the people. It is their longstanding practice to shirk accountability while in power and then launch rallies on public interest issues as soon as it comes into the opposition. Congress should explain who will take responsibility for the questions raised about the recruitment process during its tenure? Until they answer the questions, the party lacks the moral right to talk about justice,” he noted.
He further asked the opposition party to account for its past actions. “Whether it is the controversy surrounding the establishment of a Muslim university or the political debate over Friday holidays for government employees—Congress must clarify its true stance,” he asserted.
Referring to the political events which unfolded in 2016, he said that the sting operation that surfaced during that period had raised serious questions about the then Congress government’s working style, power struggles and political ethics.
Chauhan dared Congress to provide concrete evidence to support its discrepancy allegation involving Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. “Uttarakhand needs jobs, better health services, solutions to migration and a robust transparent system. We urge Congress to unveil its roadmap for solving these problems instead of slamming the ruling party and the government as part of a strategy of returning to power in the State,” the BJP leader averred.
