Congress slams BJP over death of 100 cows in Rajasthan

Congress today latched onto reports from BJP-ruled Rajasthan that 100 cows have died in a government-run cowshed in Jaipur to expose the ruling party’s professed love for the animal.

“While they are committing reprehensible crimes in the name of cow, there is a saddening story from Rajasthan where 100 cows have died in a government-run shed in just two days,” party spokesman Abhishek Singhvi told reporters.

He said the tragic development showed that BJP is tall on claims, “but does nothing on the ground and the BJP government sheds crocodile tears on cows.”

There are reports that over 100 cows have died in the government-run Hingonia cowshed in Jaipur.
