Uttarakhand: These days, a period of rhetoric is going on in the politics of Uttarakhand. After the indecent remarks made by Cabinet Minister Premchand Agarwal about the hills, the politics of the state has heated up. Now a controversy has arisen over BJP state president Mahendra Bhatt calling the agitating people “sadak chap”. Congress has become aggressive on this statement and is targeting the BJP state president. Congress state president Karan Mahara has reacted strongly to this statement of Mahendra Bhatt.
He said that “a man can reach anywhere with his luck, but this does not mean that he calls others sadak chap.” Mahara took Mahendra Bhatt to task and said that the people who came to agitate in Gairsain were intellectuals, who had raised their voice for the interests of Uttarakhand. He called this statement of the BJP state president irresponsible and said that it is an insult to the people of Uttarakhand.
Mahendra Bhatt held responsible for Joshimath disaster
Karan Mahara held Mahendra Bhatt responsible for the Joshimath disaster. He said that when Mahendra Bhatt was an MLA, he did not pay attention to the problems of his area, due to which a disaster like Joshimath came to the fore. Mahara said that if appropriate steps were taken at the right time, then perhaps Joshimath would not have been in this situation today. He alleged that the BJP government and its leaders are ignoring the problems of the common people and when people come out on the streets and raise their voice, they are showered with insulting words.
Karan Mahara said that the BJP government is constantly taking anti-people decisions and when the public opposes it, the BJP leaders make insulting statements against them. He said that the people of Uttarakhand are understanding these things and will respond to it when the time comes. Karan Mahara also reacted to the statement of Cabinet Minister Premchand Agarwal and said that the BJP leaders are now cut off from the public, so their words reflect arrogance. He said that these statements of the BJP state president and cabinet minister make it clear that the BJP is not concerned about the people of Uttarakhand.
The public will give a reply to the BJP in the elections.
Karan Mahara said that the Congress will go to the public with these statements and expose the real face of the BJP. He said that “We will continue to raise the voice of the people in a democratic way and the public itself will answer the arrogance of the BJP leaders in the elections.
Although there has been no official response from the BJP on the statement of Congress state president Karan Mahara, but this issue has gained momentum in the political corridors. Now it has to be seen how the BJP handles this controversy and how much the Congress capitalizes on it by making it an election issue.
