Himachal : Jai Ram Thakur accuses Rahul Gandhi of seeking regime change through unrest

Shimla, Nov 3 (UNI) Leader of Opposition and former Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur on Tuesday accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of attempting to bring about a change of government through unrest and mob mobilisation, while also criticising the state government over the reported suspension of free diagnostic tests in government hospitals.
Addressing a 'Viksit Bharat Yuva Samvad – Know Your Vote' programme at Sardar Patel University in Mandi, Thakur alleged that Rahul Gandhi and the INDIA bloc were trying to create an atmosphere of instability in the country after failing to secure public support through democratic means.
He claimed that the Congress leader wanted to achieve a 'regime change' through chaos and mob power, rather than through electoral processes. Referring to developments in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Syria, Thakur alleged that the Congress wanted to create similar conditions in India.
