‘Assembly gherao’ programme of Congress failed to attract people, says BJP

The BJP on Friday claimed that the Congress has failed to distract the people through its "Assembly gherao" programme during the day as the people have come to know the definition of development.

"The gherao of Assembly by the Congress has flopped as it did not get the support of the people," BJP spokesman Praveen Prabhakar said in a statement here.

"The Congress has no issue left, so it wanted to distract the people. But the people have come to know about the definition of development," Prabhakar said.

Stating that Chief Minister Raghubar Das has given a new pace and direction to the development of the state and the Congress should come forward with its support.

But its intention is not clean, Prabhakar claimed after the Congress staged the gherao on the first day of the winter session.

Another spokesman Deendayal Barnwal alleged that the opposition was avoiding serious and burning issues because they have no solid suggestions.
