Third BRS MLA to join the Congress
A day after BRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao claimed that 20 Congress MLAs were ready to quit the party and join him, his party MLA Prakash Goud from Rajendranagar met Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday lashed at chief minister Virbhadra Singh for accusing the party for working for the development of upper region of Himachal Pradesh and said it was he who had played the politics of region and religion.
The state BJP Chief Satpal Singh Satti said during the present government, Singh favoured officials from a particular region and ignored efficient and eligible ones. These were even harassed and they were not allowed to contribute towards the development of the state.
“Singh’s allegation that BJP hadn’t worked for the development of Shimla was a mere lie as whenever, the party was in power in the state, development activities took place in all regions equally,” he said.

Satti said former BJP CMs were known for their development works as Shanta Kumar was known for providing potable water to all and Dhumal for improving road infrastructure.
While Singh is known as corrupt CM by one and all, he said, adding he had got the distinction of being the only CM in the country who is out on bail. Under the Congress rule, the roads are in bad shape and there is no region in the state where the road infrastructure is up to the mark.
“This laxity has resulted in 2096 in 2016 in which 780 persons were killed while 3,919 persons suffered injuries,” he said.
Satti surged the people of the state to vote for BJP whose only agenda is the development of HP and not for Congress whose corrupt practices had shamed the state at the national level.
