Jamshedpur: Congress today expressed surprise
that party general secretary Rahul Gandhi`s recent tours to
the tribal and dalit dominated pockets of the country has
become an issue for the BJP for the Jharkhand assembly
election.
BJP did not have any achievements during its rule in the
state to highlight and that was why it wrecked up Rahul
Gandhi`s visit in tribal pockets, AICC spokesman Mohan Prakash
told a press conference said here.
Perhaps Singh would not have any objection had Rahul
Gandhi visited the house of a rich person, Prakash quipped.
Criticizing the six-year `misrule` of the BJP-led NDA
government in Jharkhand, Prakash said the mineral-rich state
was lagging while Chattisgarh and Uttarakhand, which were
simultaneously created alongwith Jharkhand, were now developed
because of good governance by the Congress and follow up work
by BJP, he claimed.
"We will develop Jharkhand as a model state of the
country in the next five year, if voted to power," he said.
