Taking the ruling BJP to task for changing rules in its favour, the Uttarakhand Congress has said that land use was changed in gross violation of norms to facilitate construction of the party office of BJP.
The spokesperson of Uttarakhand Congress, Garima Dasauni said that initially the rulebook was thrown into the dustbin during the foundation stone laying ceremony of the building for the head office of the party and now an escape door was opened in the recent cabinet meeting. She said that the Cabinet in its meeting held on Wednesday had provided relief to the political parties in the ‘Dehradun Master plan 2025’ for construction of their offices. She said that the BJP is determined to construct a high tech and luxurious office in the state by any means at a time when a large number of people have lost means of livelihood due to the pandemic of Covid-19.
“The proposed party office would have 55 rooms, four halls, a digital library and other modern facilities. It is like rubbing salts on wounds of people of the state reeling under the onslaught of pandemic. It would have been better had the prerogative of Cabinet been used for any welfare measure,’’ she said.
