Shimla, July 7: Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh today dubbed the Parivartan Yatra of the BJP a flop show and said pomp and show through rath yatras would not help the BJP muster support in far-flung areas of the state. Elections were close and many so-called leaders would crop up to lure people to vote in favour of their candidates, he said, addressing a public gathering at Khamaadi in Shimla district.
Cautioning the public to be aware of nefarious designs of such divisive forces as their sole motive was to lure public, he said not even a single room or a road was constructed by them in this area.“I am being criticised by the BJP for opening many educational institutions, have I committed a crime,” he questioned.
