Himachal BJP hits out at Congress over ‘samosa’ controversy

Raising questions over the episode, leader of opposition in the state assembly Jai Ram Thakur questioned, “How did a samosa become an anti-government act?... The opposition people did not eat the samosa.”

Thakur took note of the futility of the exercise, saying, “At a time when anarchy and corruption are at their peak at every level in the state, the government’s police was tracking down the person who ate the samosa. To blow up such a small matter at such a big level is to play with the image of Himachal and its people.”

The CM’s chief media adviser, Naresh Chauhan, meanwhile, criticised the Opposition for politicising every “trivial matter”, “No such investigation was ordered. This could be an internal matter of the CID. The BJP is defaming the state in this way to gain benefits elsewhere.”
