| BJP playing with sentiments of locals on Toll Plaza: Manohar | | ‘Its leadership a divided house’ | |  EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, July 31: While reacting to J&K BJP Spokespersons statement that toll plazas are necessary for development, former minister and president District Congress Committee Kathua Dr Manohar Lal Sharma lambasted BJP leadership for playing with the sentiments of people and termed BJP as a divided house.
Manohar said when the BJP was in Opposition in Jammu and Kashmir, it had objected to the then state government’s move to set up a toll plaza at Lakhanpur and compared it to the collection of “jazia’’ from Vaishno Devi pilgrims, adding that BJP workers led by party leader Chander Parkash Ganga had in May 2014 dismantled the structure of a toll plaza coming up at Sarore in Samba district but now in a U-turn from its earlier stand, the BJP spokesperson now said the setting up of toll plazas on the Kathua-Jammu-Srinagar national highways is necessary for development.
While referring to different statements DR Sharma said State BJP president says that he will uproot the toll plazas with JCB & Crane and also quoted that establishment of toll plazas in UT is against the norms. Afterwards Union Minister in PMO issued a statement that relaxation will be given to locals residing within 20 kms of Lakhanpur toll plaza whereas BJP spokesperson has now said toll plazas are necessary. Dr Sharma said that three different statements from three leaders of BJP have created the condition of chaos among masses and further asked people to understand the nefarious designs of BJP.
