Gupta said that the wise decision of the BJP Government is not being digested by Congress and National Conference and both these parties are hatching conspiracy to play dirty politics of the issue. “These parties are indulged in spreading rumors only because they have no issue to corner Government while Congress and NC are also in a state of shock because of being out of power,” he added.

Meanwhile, BJP OBC Cell Convener Brahmjyot has also alleged that the ongoing agitation of AIIMS was self profiting agenda of some political parties, which want to gain politically from this issue.
Union Health Minister J P Nadda has already declared AIIMS for Jammu and these non-BJP parties are misleading people for their own benefit and creating a situation in which common man is suffering, he said and added that ongoing Bandh has inflicted huge losses to traders besides creating problems for the Amarnath pilgrims. Appealing people to not fall in the trap of those who were misleading them, Brahmjyot assured that the intersts of Jammu were on the top priority for the BJP and its leadership.
