May 27, 2013 13:40

BJP today charged the Congress with attempting to politicise the Maoist attack at Baster in Chhattisgarh that claimed 27 lives, saying it is 'very unfortunate.' Party's National General Secretary Rajiv Pratap Rudy demanded that Congress leaders refrain from making statements with political implications.

"This is not a time for blame game', Rudy said adding the need was to create a national banner to fight the Maoist menace. "We can understand the anger, concern and anguish of AICC Chief Sonia Gandhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and AICC Vice-President Rahul Gandhi. But it is very unfortunate to make statements with political implications at a time of grief", he said addressing a press conference.
