ITANAGAR, Jan 22: In response to Rahul Gandhi's recent 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' in Arunachal Pradesh, the state BJP vehemently dismissed the impact of the Congress leader's tour, labelling the Congress as the "most corrupt party in the country."
Addressing the media at a press conference, BJP state Chief Biyuram Wahge refuted allegations made by Rahul Gandhi and underscored the clean track record of the BJP regime. "A party leader living in a 'glass house' should not throw stones at others. There have been no scams in the last ten years under the BJP regime," Wahge stated.
Wahge also criticized Rahul Gandhi's silence on the recent high-profile cash seizure of Rs 350 crore from Congress MP Dhiraj Sahu by the Income Tax department. "Rahul Gandhi did not mention the record-breaking cash seizure, a glaring omission that raises questions," added the BJP state president.
Responding to Gandhi's allegations of unemployment in Arunachal Pradesh, Wahge highlighted the state's remarkable performance in developing a thriving startup ecosystem. He emphasized that the government has been actively addressing the unemployment issue as a top priority.
Addressing concerns about the lack of development under the Pema Khandu-led government, Wahge asserted substantial progress in road sector. He contrasted this with the perceived failure of successive Congress governments to deliver comparable advancements.
Setting the record straight, Wahge denied the Congress leader's accusation that the BJP government was imposing Hindi language in the state. "Hindi is a medium of communication between the various ethnic tribes of the state with different dialects," clarified Wahge. (With inputs from PTI)
