The BJP Thursday hit back at Congress Lok Sabha poll candidate Pawan Kumar Bansal for alleging "nothing has been achieved" during the five-year term of sitting BJP MP Kirron Kher, and said he was not able to "digest" development works executed in the city.
The statement of the Chandigarh BJP came a day after Bansal gave a negative review of Kher's work as a parliamentarian for the 'city beautiful', saying her term has been "a totally disappointing experience for people".
Chandigarh BJP chief Sanjay Tandon termed Bansal's statement "irrational". The BJP addressed several issues Bansal "never bothered" to take notice of when he represented the constituency as an MP, Tondon charged.
"He (Bansal) does not want to see the work which has been done in the city. He cannot digest the works and other things executed in Chandigarh," Tandon said.
Four-time lawmaker Bansal had Wednesday said, "It (five-year term of BJP MP Kher) has been a totally disappointing experience for people. Nothing has been achieved. Only superficial things have been done."
