‘Attack’ on Kangana Ranaut govt doing: Rajeev Bindal

Solan, May 20

Terming the “attack” on Kangana Ranaut and other BJP leaders at Kaza as a conspiracy of the state government, BJP state president Dr Rajiv Bindal today said it reflected the anxiety of the state government which wanted to hijack the elections.

Addressing the media here today, he said the incident was condemnable and it was part of a conspiracy by the Congress government.

“Despite giving prior written information to the SDM and DC, Congress party was permitted to hold an election rally adjacent to their rally venue though no such event was held there,” he said. “An attempt was made to attack the BJP leaders, but the party functionaries managed to surround Jai Ram Thakur, leaders of the opposition, and two BJP candidates, Kangana Ranaut and Ravi Thakur, besides a minister from Uttarakhand and save them from the Congress goons,” he alleged.

He said the Election Commission was protecting the government. Bindal added that they have filed an FIR on this issue, though they did not expect any action against the erring Congress functionaries. He alleged that their Yuva Morcha functionary Rohan Kapoor was beaten brutally.

Bindal said, “Ever since Ravi Thakur has been nominated as their candidate for the Vidhan Sabha seat, the Chief Minister and his party are depressed. When Ravi Thakur was in the Congress, there was no problem with his house but when he joined the BJP, that house was termed illegal. First, its boundary wall was broken by using bulldozers and yesterday, voters were intimidated.

Bulldozers were used all day to inflict damage to his house.”
