Ramnagar, June 29: While responding to a statement issued by ex-MLA Harsh Dev Singh and carried in a section of press on 27th June 2015, R. S. Pathania, MLA Ramnagar, has challenged the Panthers' leader to come on ground and try to call the spade a spade.
"The stand of BJP is very clear and all the BJP legislators had voiced unanimity for setting up of AIIMS at Jammu in the last budget session. And now when BJP has vowed to formally announce and start work on setting up of AIIMS before 20th July, Panthers want to muddle the public opinion by issuing vague and out-of-context statements". Pathania said.
Attributing to Panthers leader's statement as an outburst of frustration and eccentricity resulting out of his nerve-racking defeat in the last assembly polls, Pathania has accused Harsh Dev Singh of sticking to novel obsession of making false, tailored and blasphemous statements.
He said nonetheless, the statement wherein he admits that Sushma Swaraj had sanctioned 120 crores for AIIMS in 2004, itself vindicates the BJP stand that AIIMS for Jammu was a gift of Vajpayee government.
Ironically, Panthers leader's high-voltage statement cunningly skips counter of the main charge that Harsh Dev Singh was part of the State cabinet at the time when Sushma Swaraj, on behalf of NDA government, announced AIIMS in Jammu. |
