Congress says BJP government’s upcoming vikas yatra will be a flop show
as people of Chhattisgarh will reject it. Comparing Congress parivartan yatra
with BJP government’s vikas yatra, Chief Congress spokesperson Shailesh Nitin
Trivedi on Friday said while the former was receiving excellent response due to
workers’ efforts, the latter’s success was doubtful for the ruling party’s had
failed in every department.
He
alleged that the ruling party aimed to politicise vikas yatra misusing
government funds. “Or else, why the preparatory meeting at state-level held at
BJP office while district-level meeting were being convened together by
government officials and BJP office-bearers,” he asked.
“Though
the government wants to take out vikas yatra, there is no development in state.
Instead, the ruling party has given scams, grafts and bad governance to the
state on the name of development,” he said.
“Knowing
that its workers cannot pull crowd the ruling party has pressed entire
government machinery to make vikas yatra successful,” he added.
“The
BJP has accepted that people were upset with its government, hence it wants to
tempt them on pretext of tendu leaves bonus, one year paddy bonus and sarees,”
he said.
He
indicated that not only Constitution of India but Civil Services Act too
prohibit misuse of government machinery to take political mileage.
He
demanded for disclosure of government spending including rental cost of
helicopters for preparation of vikas yatra.
“The
voter list revision is an indicator of pre-poll preparations and if in this
condition, the BJP is trying to take political advantage misusing government
fund then the Congress demands that the Election Commission should recover this
fund from the ruling party and add it to its poll expenditure,” he said.
He
informed that the Congress had also written a letter to Election Commission to
prevent the government from spending public money inordinately on vikas yatra with
an objective to take political benefit.
