"Negative remarks of Congress leaders about the upcoming summit shows they are anti-development," he said. Accusing the Congress of doing nothing for Uttarakhand when in power, Bhasin claimed all the industrialisation in the state took place because of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who gave it a special category status and an industrial package soon after its creation.
"Vajpayee always generously helped the state to grow without ever caring that it was a Congress-ruled state at that time. That shows the BJP has always placed development over politics," he said. Senior Congress leader Suryakant Dhasmana had recently accused the state government of blowing away lots of money over holding roadshows in different cities in the country and abroad in the name of preparing for the summit.
"At a time when the people of the state are battling the effects of heavy rains, the chief minister and his officials are spending crores on foreign visits in the name of investors' summit," he had said.
