Developmental activities hit due to Congress internal fight: BJP

ITANAGAR: The BJP in Arunachal Pradesh today alleged that developmental activities in the state have come to a grinding halt due to the alleged "in-fighting" between Congress legislators.

"Development activities in the state has come to a grinding halt because of internal bickering in the Congress with the innocent people being the worst sufferers. It is a sheer betrayal of the mandate and faith reposed by the people on the government," BJP Arunachal Pradesh unit president Tai Tagak told reporters here.

"We have predicted earlier that because of holding elections prior to the due date last year, people will suffer a lot, which has been proved today," he said.

Responding to media queries on rumours that BJP was trying to de-stabilise the Congress government to install its own, Taga emphatically said that the party had nothing to do with the internal matters of the Congress and was ready to face mid-term poll at any point of time if situation demanded.

When asked whether the party would accept the Congress dissident members if fresh election is announced, he said "door is open for all." He, however, said that so far nobody had approached the party.
