New Delhi: Union Minister Anurag Thakur on Saturday reacted to Delhi Chief Minister's appeal for Goddess Laxmi-Lord Ganesh pics on Indian currency notes and said that Arvind Kejriwal is a symbol of anarchy who stokes new propaganda so that his corruption isn't discussed.
Those who opposed Ram Mandir, insulted Hindu deities and had to sack a minister, that Arvind Kejriwal is a symbol of anarchy. He stokes new propaganda so that his corruption isn't discussed,” news agency ANI quoted Anurag Thakur as saying.
Kejriwal had on Friday, said that he has written to PM Modi requesting him to put pictures of Lord Ganesh and Goddess Lakshmi on currency notes stating that "it is a desire of 130 crore Indians" as it can help 'improve the country's economic situation. "You (Delhi CM) give Rs 18,000 per annum to Muslim clerics in Delhi. Will you also give the same Rs 18,000 to priests, gurdwara granthis, and pastors? Why could you not do that? " Anurag Thakur asked further while addressing a press conference.
Thakur also highlighted the achievements of the state BJP government in Himachal Pradesh. "We brought inflation under control and slashed fuel prices in the BJP-ruled states but they didn't go down in Congress-ruled states," ANI quoted Anurag Thakur as saying during the press conference in Shimla days before the state assembly polls.
Thakur also launched a scathing attack on Congress Party and said that the Congress Party only makes false promises. "Congress only makes false promises, such as when they promised a farm loan waiver. That is something they could not deliver in Punjab, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh," ANI quoted Thakur as saying.
He further said in his address that the BJP has ensured good governance in a state continuously where it seems difficult to run a government for even two-and-a-half years.
Comparing the tenure of the governance of BJP and Congress in Himachal Pradesh, Thakur also asserted that they (BJP) focus more on development while the Congress only complains and protests. He said that the BJP has a clean image and hence can move with the head held high.
"We have a clean image and a corruption-free head with the government of eight years in the Centre and five years in the state. We ensure development while the Congress protests and opposes it," he said. "The situation changed five years ago when the government changed here. What is the need to change the government now?" he asked.
