JAMMU: Lashing out at Central Government for failing to address the grievances of people, besides failing them on every count after promising overall development after downgrading J&K State, JKPCC Vice President Raman Bhalla on Thursday said developmental process started by UPA in J&K received a major setback under BJP regime in last seven years.
This was observed by former Minister after visiting various areas of Gandhi Nagar and RS Pura constituencies.
He urged party workers to gear up for the challenges ahead, besides putting a united fight against the “anti-people and wrong policies” of the Government, which is responsible for the economic losses, restlessness among the people in J&K.
Bhalla said that developmental scenario in J&K got setback, unemployment has risen considerably, people have suffered huge economic losses, but unfortunately the rising trend of people’s grievances have even failed to invite the attention of the Government, which is a big source of disappointment and anguish among the people, who have realized that their voices are not being heard by the BJP Govt, rather they are being suppressed aiming to cover up the wrong doings on the part of BJP Govt.
He reiterated that Congress Party is committed to safeguard the rights of the people and won’t compromise on its stated position of working and serving people to the best of its ability, which is the party’s legacy.
Bhalla observed that on the one hand, BJP Govt is adamant over not to reverse the price hike and on the other, it is hoodwinking people of Jammu region that next govt in J&K will be formed by BJP on its own, now “it is the sole responsibility of people of Jammu region to respond to BJPs ‘terror tax’ and price hike on everything especially petrol, diesel and essentials,” he said.
Every institution in the country benefitting people and safeguarding the Constitution is BJP’s target, for the fact, BJP want to bring back dictator rule in the country to serve its dirty political ends, which is matter of serious concern.
Bhalla castigated the BJP for “hoodwinking public opinion” by generating euphoria over imaginary development in J&K. He said that lust for power could lead the BJP to compromise with the Jammu pride and dignity. He accused the BJP of undermining the understanding and political sagacity of the people of Jammu.
