BJP carrying Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s ashes around country for votes: Vajpayee’s niece

Raipur (Chhattisgarh), Aug 23 (ANI): Former Prime Minister Atal Bihar Vajpayee’s niece and Congress leader Karuna Shukla on Thursday slammed Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for taking out ‘Asthi Kalash Yatra’ across country.

Karuna said BJP is carrying ashes of Atal Bihari Vajpayee around the country for electoral gains in upcoming elections.

She said “The way BJP is carrying around the country ashes of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, it is a show off and for votes.” She further lambasted Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh saying he and his cabinet never remembered Vajpayee until now.
