Former Chief Minister and leader of opposition in HP Vidhan Sabha Prem Kumar Dhumal has accused Congress for tarnishing the image of BJP and demanded to probe all allegations by a sitting Judge of the High Court (HC) in a time-bound manner.

In a letter to the Himachal Governor, Dhumal accused that ever since the Congress had come to power, its leaders were feeding the media reports regarding inquiries being conducted into the charge sheet submitted by the Congress to the President.

He alleged that Congress leaders are trying to settle personal scores with BJP leaders. He asked Governor to stop such malicious propaganda and to bring out truth, an inquiry by a sitting HC Judge should be ordered. He said that it’ll bring the guilty to book and will also ensure that those making false charges were held accountable as well.

Releasing the letter to mediapersons, party spokesperson Ganesh Dutt claimed that there was no substance in the charge sheet and it was being used to malign the previous BJP regime.

He said the Congress had alleged that thousands of bighas had been given to private universities, but had stated in the Assembly that no land was allotted to those. Ganesh Dutt alleged that in last four months corruption is rampant and transfer industry is booming as Govt is only busy with transfer.
