Khatkar Kalan, September 28: The Bharatiya Janata Party today denied that the income tax raid on Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh was politically motivated.
BJP MP Anurag Thakur said that the department concerned might have planned the date of raid that by chance coincided with the marriage of the Chief Minister much earlier.
He was addressing the rally to celebrate the birth anniversary of Shaheed Bhagat Singh at his native village here organized by the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha.
He said the Morcha would connect 5 crore youth with the 5-point programme in the drive that had started with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday on September 17 and would conclude with Swami Vivekananda birth anniversary on January 12 next.
Union Minister of State Vijay Sampla claimed Modi had launched 50 schemes in 15 months that was unprecedented anywhere in the world.
Punjab BJP chief Kamal Sharma and several other leaders were also present.
