The Bharatiya Janata Party state president Bansidhar Bhagat has asked the Congress about its contribution to the chief minister relief fund. Bhagat said this after welcoming the information provided in the cabinet meeting about Rs 154.56 crore being received in the CM relief fund from March 15 to June 26, with Rs 85.60 crore out of this amount being spent so far.

Bhagat said that on the appeal of chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat, people in the state and from outside the state opened their hearts to donate to the relief fund. Welcoming the information shared in the cabinet meeting, the BJP state president said that this exhibits the trust which the public has in the Government.

Bhagat said, “On the one hand the public is contributing to this fund with an open heart and on the other hand the Congress has continued to play its negative role. What is the contribution of the Congress party and its leaders in this amount donated to the CM relief fund?

The Congress leaders who are habituated to talking big were demanding an account without making any contribution. But the Chief Minister has now silenced them by providing information about the total amount received and the money spent out of it.

The Congress should now seek an apology from the Chief minister and the public, and keep its mouth shut in the future,” said the BJP state president. Welcoming the other decisions taken in the Cabinet meeting, he said that the Mukhyamantri Swarozgar Yojana (MSY) is a revolutionary step taken in the sphere of self employment.
