The ruling BJP in Uttarakhand on Tuesday accused the Congress of being "anti-development", days after a leader of the opposition party alleged that the state government was wasting money by holding roadshows in different cities across the country and abroad in preparation for an investor's summit.

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat was in Singapore Monday to invite investors to participate in the summit to be held here on October 7 and 8, which would be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. State BJP's media head Devendra Bhasin said on Tuesday, "A responsible party like Congress should have placed development over politics and seen some positivity in the chief minister's efforts to bring investors to the state."
