Shimla: With congress president Sonia Gandhi ready to lay the foundation stone for Rohtang Tunnel project on Monday, BJP has termed it as a mean attempt to undermine the legacy of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee who not only had announced the project but had even laid its foundation stone in 2002.
