The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday called for early elections in Himachal Pradesh after the CBI filed chargesheet against the Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh in Delhi High Court.

BJP Chief spokesperson Rajeev Bindal said after filing of chargesheet, the entire Congress government is in dock and in such a scenario, early elections are the need of the hour.

“Even after prolonged judicial battle by the chief minister, he could not save himself in the case,” he said, adding CBI’s chargesheet against Singh and eight other persons is a serious issue.

Bindal alleged the CM and his family members prolonged the case in courts in last four years by misusing the government machinery. “Virbhadra Singh misused entire government machinery and even tried to take advantage of his position but, at last, the truth has prevailed,” he said.

Rajeev Bindal said the CM spent the entire time of his tenure in his visits to Delhi to prolong the case. “While on the other, the general public kept suffering for the want basic amenities as the head of the state was busy in settling corruption case. The entire government machinery was in fix and failed to ensure basic amenities as power and water to the people,” he said

He called on the Congress leadership to take the issue of chargesheet against Singh seriously and said the party should take hard decisions to protect democratic values.

It is worthwhile to mention here that Delhi High Court quashed Virbhadra Singh and his wife’s plea to quash disproportionate assets case filed against them by the CBI.

The Delhi High Court has also vacated the HP High Court’s order, restraining the CBI from arresting, interrogating or filing chargesheet against him and his wife.
