Himachal Pradesh BJP on Saturday submitted a "charge sheet" to the Governor against the alleged "omission and commission" by the Congress government, which completed four years in office, even as Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh termed it as a "bundle of lies".
The Congress government in the state celebrated four years in office today by organising a rally at Dharamsala which was addressed by party vice president Rahul Gandhi.
The 75-page "charge sheet" submitted to Governor Acharya Devvrat includes allegations against the Chief Minister, his Cabinet colleagues, Congress leaders and 41 individuals and institutions and demands a probe into these charges by a central investigating agency.
It also highlights the "failures" of the state government in developmental front, accuses it of financial mismanagement and its lukewarm attitude in implementing the projects sanctioned by the Modi government at the Centre.
The charges levelled by BJP against Virbhadra Singh are a compendium of cases registered against him by various agencies and alleged misuse of office.
Terming the "charge sheet" by BJP against his government a "bundle of lies", the Chief Minister said, "It is an old habit of BJP to make false allegations. It had submitted similar "charge sheet" twice in the past and implicated me in false cases but I was acquitted by courts." Singh claimed the Congress government has ensured overall development of the state during the last four years and the charge sheet was prepared out of "frustration" of BJP leaders.
State irrigation and public health minister Vidya Stokes, health and family welfare minister Kaul Singh Thakur and agriculture minister Sujan Singh Pathania termed it a "futile exercise" as the charges were "contrary" to facts.
Reacting to accusations of corruption, they claimed the state government has adopted a policy of zero tolerance towards corruption and if BJP leaders have any proof, they should go to the Lokayukta. Else the party should seek apology from the people.
