BJP U-turn on toll plazas: Necessary for development
In a U-turn from its earlier stand, the BJP on Wednesday said the setting up of toll plazas on the Kathua-Jammu-Srinagar national highways is necessary for development.
When the BJP was in the Opposition in Jammu and Kashmir, it had objected to the then state government’s move to set up a toll plaza at Lakhanpur and compared it to the collection of “jazia’’ from Vaishno Devi pilgrims on the way to Katra.
BJP workers led by party leader Chander Parkash Ganga had in May 2014 dismantled the structure of a toll plaza coming up at Sarore in Samba district.
