Chandigarh : Ahead of the Budget session tomorrow, the state BJP has decided to give some breathing space to its alliance partner, the SAD. Also, it wants to put up a united show in the Assembly.
While the BJP has opted for a wait and watch policy on the issue of Revenue Minister Bikram Singh Majithia’s alleged links with drugs smugglers, Local Bodies Minister Anil Joshi is adamant on not attending the session. He is demanding action against those responsible for the murderous attack on his brother Rajesh Joshi during campaigning for the civic elections in Tarn Taran.
Joshi said he would not attend the House session. “The main accused have been bailed out. The police have prepared a weak case against them. The Chief Minister had assured our party leader that justice would be done. The CM must keep his word,” Joshi said.
The BJP state president, Kamal Sharma, said the party would wait for the Enforcement Directorate’s final report on the drug issue and act accordingly. Sharma called a meeting of the BJP Legislature Party here tomorrow to discuss the party strategy on issues likely to come up in the Assembly.
