Jammu, June 08: J&K National Conference Provincial President Jammu Rattan Lal Gupta on Thursday said that BJP’s ‘Jan Sampark Abhiyan’ is “nothing but an attempt to seek apology from the people for the unfulfilled promises, which the party made during the run-up to polls”.
In a statement issued here, the senior NC leader said, “Even a layman in politics can understand the dismal position of the saffron party, which has drastically failed in fulfilling its promises on containing inflation, providing employment to unemployed and ensuring amenities to the people leading to its leadership going into apologetic mode and seeking another chance, which the people will never give to this ‘flock of liars’, who tried to rely on Jumlas more than once to befool the electorate.”
Gupta said, “Joblessness has broken all previous records and the recruitment agencies indulged in scams. There are thousands of government posts lying vacant; the government is sitting idle with no intention to advertise the same or refer to SSB or PSC to initiate the recruitment process of selection. The students are facing lots of problems as the phlegmatic government is even not able to make their exams centres to the CUET aspirants within J&K as they have been forced by National Testing Agency to go out of J&K to take exams in different states.”
“The situation with regard to road mishaps due to dilapidated road conditions in the Jammu region, especially in Doda, Kishtwar, Rajouri and Poonch districts is appalling but the government is busy in rhetoric claiming everything is best,” he said.
The NC leader accused the ruling dispensation of not respecting and showing serious concern towards the issues raised by the opposition which he said is a matter of grave concern. “It undermines the basic principles of democracy. The opposition is the soul of democracy as it challenges the wrong decisions of the ruling party so that citizens can get the best decisions for their welfare. Thus, running a government without respecting democracy is in fact hypocrisy,” he said.
