STATE TIMES NEWS
UDHAMPUR: The party which rose to power on the slogans of empowerment of Jammu and ‘Achhe Din’ winning 25 seats in the State Assembly and both seats of Parliament gave the shocker of their lifetimes to its electorates by its cowardly surrenders and compromises on almost all Jammu related issues during its rule in the centre as well as in the state, said Harsh Dev Singh JKNPP Chairman and Former Minister.
Not only did the tall promises made in the Election manifesto by the BJP recede into the oblivion but Jammu region was pushed to terminal decline only to appease the Kashmir centric forces, said Singh. He said that while our already negligible share in services and development declined to abysmally low level, the Dogra pride received the severest dents during the said rule, rued Harsh. The most contemptuous neglect and ruthless subjugation that Dogras faced during the last few years shall continue to remind us of BJP’s wicked politicking and its petrifying conduct while in power. Accusing the BJP of having hollowed out Jammu like a termite, he said the nightmarish experiences of BJP rule will continue to haunt the people of dogra land for years. He was addressing public meetings in Malal, Bagad and Shashkari in Chenani-Ghordi constituency. “The educated youth of Jammu who were assured of jobs and gainful employment were made to languish on the roads. Their share particularly in state level services reached an all time low. In several select lists issued by PSC and SSB during BJP-PDP rule, the youth of Jammu region got hardly 8-10% share which has further got reduced after abrogation of Art 370. The last few years witnessed these youth engaged in spree of protests outside recruitment agencies with none to even listen to their grievances. The leaders in whom they reposed their faith, abandoned them and took sides with their Kashmir based masters. They not only sold the share of Jammu but even justified it.
