Himachal BJP To ‘gherao’ State Assembly To Protest Against Several Issues On Sep 25
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) unit of Himachal Pradesh has planned to ‘gherao’ the state Assembly on September 25 to protest against the incumbent Congress Government over the closure of institutions, law-and-order situation, fuel inflation, alleged nepotism in relief distribution and the non-implementation of poll guarantees.
Addressing the reporters on Saturday, state BJP chief Rajiv Bindal said the Himachal Government has so far shut down more than 1,000 institutions and fuelled inflation by increasing the prices of diesel, electricity and rations and oils under the Public Distribution System (PDS) He alleged that the Government failed in disaster management as well.
“The law and order situation in the state is deteriorating every day. Crimes like murder and rape have significantly increased in Himachal Pradesh under the Congress regime,” said Bindal attacking the state government.
‘Congress hiked diesel price in Himachal’
He said that the previous BJP Government had cut the price of diesel by Rs 7 per litre but the Congress Government has hiked the price twice, putting a burden on the people. Stressing the failure of the incumbent Congress Government, he mentioned that his party would stage a demonstration and gherao the State Assembly on the last day of the monsoon session on September 25.
Issues like the deteriorating law-and-order situation, nepotism in relief distribution, failure to rein in prices and wreaking vengeance, besides the closure of institutions, will be highlighted during the protest, he said.
