"Congress staged many protests for empowerment of panchayats and if the party is serious about its intention, it should immediately walk out of the coalition government in the state," BJP national executive member and spokesperson Jitendra Singh told reporters here.
He termed the protests by Congress for adoption and implementation of 73rd and 74th Constitutional amendment as an effort to mislead the people to gain their sympathy.
"On one end, Congress has taken credit for initiating the 73rd and 74th amendments, but at the same time it is extending support to National Conference led state government, which has completely ignored the matter," he said.
