Suri flays Cong for ‘abusing mandate’

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Sept 20: Coming down heavily on Congress for accusing Union Government of abusing mandate, BJP State Executive Member, Raman Suri today said, actually it was Congress that had been brazenly abusing mandate since Independence by exploiting sentiments of poor, dividing people on the base of region and religion and looting money on the name of development.
“This was also established by former Prime Minister Rajeev Gandhi who, on record said that only 15 paisa reach poor,” Suri said adding that it was Congress that gave slogan of ending poverty but till date nothing happened and that is abusing of mandate.
In a handout he said that it was during Congress regimes that scams worth billions were unearthed and that is called brazed misuse of power or mandate.
“Finally it was during Congress regime that lakhs of lives were lost in communal riots which justify that Congress abused mandate and didn’t let people coexist by dividing them on the basis of caste, creed, region or religion,” Suri further said.
