The Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president Karan Mahara has termed the allegations levelled by the state BJP president Mahendra Bhatt on the central observer for Bageshwar by-election, Rajesh Kumar as frustration of the ruling party. He said that the BJP has realised that it is losing in Bageshwar.
Mahara said that BJP governments are in both centre and in the State and the election commission has appointed Rajesh Kumar as the central observer who is a senior officer of Indian Administrative Service (IAS). “The BJP State president has made himself a laughing stock by terming the central observer as the agent of the Congress party. He is questioning the integrity and impartiality of the EC,’’ he said.
Mahara opined that the complaint registered by BJP against Kumar is a bundle of lies.
