Union Minister Kiren Rijiju lashed out at the Congress on Monday for “decades of criminal injustice” to the people of Ladakh.
Addressing rallies at Nyoma in Changthang region near the Line of Actual Control here, the Minister of State for Home said the Congress had enjoyed power for 60 of the 72 years since Independence, but the party had not managed to do anything for the common man.
“The Congress has unleashed a demonic culture of looting the nation’s resources for filling their own pockets. This has done enough harm to the nation and it should be stopped at once,” he said.
Flanked by BJP State president Ravinder Raina, MLC Tsering Dorjey, MP candidate Namgyal, Mr. Rijiju told the gatherings at Khalsti and Neoma of Ladakh to vote for the BJP.
He appealed to the people to teach the Congress a lesson as the grand old party had “abandoned the Ladakh region for filling its own kitty.
The Congress party, he said, only served a single family. The BJP was a party which cared for the whole country.
