CM distorting facts on development work: Malhotra
New Delhi, January 28 In a statement, Malhotra called this move as nothing but rank opportunism and said the Chief Minister had started indulging in “political gimmicks” to mislead the people. The Chief Minister is misleading lakhs of people as development work in the ASI and Ridge areas is not allowed, he said.

Govt indifferent to crime against women: BJP
New Delhi, January 28 “The government is misleading the people on the gangrape case which has shaken the country. The Congress Government is not serious about the issue. The way the government showed its indifference to the Justice Verma Committee which is looking into the case, it seems that the sacrifice of the victim will go in vain,” Gupta said. He added, “The government did not provide the facilities to the Justice Verma Commission which should have been given under the laws regulating the enquiries in India. Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde did not meet Justice Verma, still he submitted his report to the government within the fixed timeframe.” He said, “One week has passed since the report was submitted, but no step has been taken on it.” Gupta said the government should take strict action to prevent the incidents of eve-teasing, rape, etc. otherwise the Bharatiya Janata Party will hold agitations and will not allow the sacrifice of the gangrape victim go in vain.
