Shimla, January 23
On the back foot following the alleged involvement of its leader from Hamirpur in the Mandi spurious liquor tragedy case, the state Congress has come under fire from the BJP, which has dubbed the party as patron of land and liquor mafia.
State BJP general secretary Trilok Jamwal launched a blistering attack on Congress leaders for blaming the state government without waiting for findings of police investigations. The party, which was mother of corruption, stood exposed once again, he said.
State BJP spokesperson Baldev Tomar and co-media in charge Karan Nanda also took on the Congress and said the party always protected mafias. Had there been Congress government in the state, the matter would not have been investigated.
Nanda said the expulsion of a Congress leader from the party by state Congress chief Kuldeep Singh Rathore was proof that Congress leaders were indulging in illegal activities and protecting the liquor and land mafias.
