Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) [India], August 5 (ANI): BJP MLA Sudhir Sharma, while addressing a public protest against the Congress government, said that Bharatiya Janata Party leaders and workers are not afraid of going to jail. Sharma alleged that the state government has completely abandoned issues of public welfare and is instead focused solely on politics of vendetta. According to Sharma, it is out of this fear that false cases are being registered one after another against BJP leaders and workers. After a public meeting, BJP workers marched through the city to Sher-e-Punjab before proceeding to Oak Over, where they held a gherao of the Chief Minister's official residence. Demonstrators raised slogans against the state government over alleged corruption, misuse of police and administration, political vendetta and what they described as the "murder of democracy."
