BJP has punished Joshi for writing the letter but the questions raised by him are unanswered: Dhasmana
As expected, the Uttarakhand unit of Congress party has used the ‘letter bomb’ episode of senior BJP leader and former cabinet minister Lakhi Ram Joshi to attack chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat. In his letter to the state BJP chief Bansidhar Bhagat, Joshi had levelled allegations of corruption on CM Rawat. A shocked BJP reiterated by removing Joshi from the party. Grabbing the opportunity provided by Joshi, the Uttarakhand Congress has demanded that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe should be ordered to investigate the allegation.
The Vice President of Uttarakhand Congress, Surya Kant Dhasmana said that BJP has punished Joshi for writing the letter but the questions raised by him are unanswered. He said that the allegations of corruption levelled by Joshi are serious and instead of replying to the questions, the CM is trying to silent Joshi by taking punitive action against him. Dhasmana said that allegation of corruption on CM is not the internal matter of BJP but it is an insult of the verdict of the people of the state. The Congress leader said that the CM should immediately resign and get the charges against him investigated by the CBI as per the orders of the Uttarakhand High Court (HC).
