Dharamshala, Oct. 20 -- Bharatiya Janata Party Himachal Pradesh chief Rajeev Bindal, on Monday, said that factionalism and internal contradictions within the Congress have now become evident after chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu and state Congress president skipped the unveiling ceremony of former chief minister Virbhadra Singh's statue in Sarahan. Bindal, while addressing media persons in Shimla, alleged, "The absence of the chief minister and the state Congress president from the unveiling ceremony of former CM Virbhadra Singh's statue raises serious questions about unity within the party. This reflects the growing internal contradictions within the Congress," he alleged. Leader of Opposition Jai Ram Thakur also targeted the Congress government on Monday, accusing it of stalling development works, shutting down institutions and pushing the state into a mounting debt burden. Addressing a party function in Shahpur constituency of Kangra district, Thakur said the state's debt had increased from Rs.69,600 crore to Rs.1.20 lakh crore under the present government. He claimed that his government had borrowed only Rs.19,600 crore during its five-year tenure and alleged that the Sukhu government had borrowed substantially more debt in a much shorter period....
