Virbhadra asks Dhumal to go to Lokayukta
January 06, 2014  11:36
Under attack from BJP over alleged corruption, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh today asked state BJP leader Prem Kumar Dhumal to go to the Lokayukta to make whatever charges he wanted against him or anybody else, saying, "We will face the consequences there." 

"If he (Dhumal) has anything to say against me, as I said earlier also, he should go to the Lokayukta," Singh told reporters. 

Noting that Himachal Pradesh was one of those states where Lokayukta was set up long back, the Chief Minister said, "During my tenure and at present, we have an eminent Lokayukta who is a retired judge of the Supreme Court. 

"Let him (Dhumal) go there make whatever charges he wants to make against me or anybody else and we will face the consequences there rather than running state to state, house to house. This is not going to serve any purpose."
