‘Poll promises on paper only’
Excelsior Correspondent
RAJOURI, Jan 7: Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader and former MLC Vibodh Gupta today addressed a meeting of polling booth presidents at Potha, Dhangri in Rajouri, where he strongly criticised the National Conference (NC) Government for its repeated failure to deliver on key election promises and fulfill commitments made to the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
Referring to present political situation in J&K, Vibodh urged the NC-Government to step down on moral grounds. He highlighted specific pledges from the NC-Congress manifesto – including the promise of 200 units of free electricity for households, the generation of one lakh jobs, monthly support for women-headed families, and the provision of 12 free LPG cylinders annually – that have not materialised despite repeated assurances.
Vibodh strongly criticised the NC Government for relying on rhetoric rather than results, asserting that the administration has fallen short on both governance and delivery on core issues concerning public welfare. He said that after repeatedly failing to fulfill its electoral guarantees, the present Government in J&K has lost the moral authority to continue in power.
In his address, Vibodh Gupta also spoke on BJP’s vision of development, accountability, and transparent governance, stressing the need for decisive leadership that prioritises people’s welfare over political interests. He strongly asserted that the Central Government, under the leadership of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has been extending full cooperation and support to the NC-led Government to ensure overall development of Jammu and Kashmir.
Young BJP leader, Harish Bharti also addressed the gathering and launched a sharp attack on the Congress leadership in Rajouri. He said that the people of Rajouri are suffering due to the petty vote-bank politics of Congress leaders, who are deliberately trying to divide society on religious lines for their narrow political gains.
BJP Mandal President Jagdev Singh also addressed the gathering and echoed similar sentiments.
Jagdev Singh stated that the BJP remains firmly committed to public service, transparent governance, and people-centric development and will continue to raise its voice against misgovernance and divisive politics.
