The Bharatiya Janata Party State president Mahendra Bhatt accused Congress of resorting to appeasement politics out of desperation, claiming their true anti-Sanatana face has been exposed ahead of their anticipated electoral defeat in urban local body (ULB) elections in Uttarakhand. Responding to media queries at the party headquarters, Bhatt stated that the BJP is poised to secure a historic victory in all 11 municipal corporations of the State. He attributed this to the party’s focus on development and its commitment to preserving cultural heritage, which have resonated strongly with the public. Bhatt said that the BJP conducted a positive election campaign which was focussed on the achievements of the double-engine government and the party’s development manifesto for municipal bodies.
Criticising the Congress, Bhatt said their leaders are resorting to divisive and controversial statements due to their growing frustration. He alleged that Congress, which once claimed to be a pro-Hindu party, has now returned to its appeasement tactics. Bhatt pointed out past instances of Congress leaders allegedly supporting practices like cow slaughter, promising minority focused institutions and campaigning in religious places to seek votes.
He said that such actions reveal the party’s true priorities, which he claimed are against the interests of the Sanatana community. Bhatt stated that these statements will result in the Congress facing rejection in the municipal elections, just as they did in the State and parliamentary polls. Besides this, Bhatt also extended his greetings to the people of Uttarakhand on the first anniversary of the consecration of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya.
