New Delhi:
Congress Spokesperson Janardhan Dwivedi, reacting to NDTV's expose on Nitin Gadkari's letter lobbying for controversial dam, contractors, has slammed the BJP.
Here are the highlights of his press conference:- Reports suggest that Gadkari has written a letter about an irrigation project.
- Why has the project cost gone up from 372 crore to 13576 crore?
- Gadkari has even given assurance on behalf of the contractors.
- He has also written to Finance Minister apart from the Water Resources Minister.
- Why such interest? Is it only because of development? Can he show another letter where he has batted for a development project?
- No harm in writing letters for development projects. But in a project where there have been questions raised, should they have written?
- History of BJP and Sangh shows that they have never done politics on the basis of their own strength.
- They have always piggy-backed on other movements like the Socialists, VP Singh.
- If they don't allow the Parliament to function, why stay in Parliamentary democracy?
