BJP condemns ‘bandh’ call given by Congress
Defending party BJP leader Surendra Sankha said that Congress call for bandh has no basis and is only a political stunt. He completely denied corruption in Rafael deal. While BJP senior leader Dr Ghanshyam Sharma criticised the bandh call of Congress and told that Congress is trying politicise baseless issues as it is losing its mass base. He told that citizens across nation are satisfied and appreciate bold decisions taken by Union Government but if Congress tries to trigger unrest by organising bandh, people of the country will give it proper answer in the coming election.
