The state BJP’s election monitoring committee will meet on June 30, probably in Gurugram, to take stock of the political situation in the state, including Leader of Opposition Abhay Singh Chautala’s statement that all electricity meters will be removed should the INLD cometo power.
State BJP president Subhash Barala said here on Monday that the committee would carry forward deliberations on issues taken up during the meeting in the National Capital on Friday, attended by BJP national president Amit Shah. It was convened with regard to the strategy for the General Election.
Referring to the INLD leader’s statement, Barala described it as “political opportunism of the worst form” and “an attempt to create anarchy”. In the context of reportedly inflated and faulty bills, Abhay had reportedly stated in public that the meters would be dispensed with if his party returned to power.
Barala claimed that INLD leaders had a track record of misleading people to come to power. He said in the late 1990s, the party leadership had called upon people not to pay their electricity dues, promising that the INLD government would do away with electricity meters and meter readers.
Barala said people believed in the party and cumulative arrears ran into thousands of crores. He referred to Abhay’s reported statement that his government had never gone by merit with regard to appointments and would continue to do so.
“Such statements from those in responsible positions is in bad taste. Leaders of the INLD are in jail for disregarding merit. They have no issue against the BJP government, but want to whip up negative passion on issues which are illegal,” Barala said.
