Abdullahs, Muftis, Gandhis kept J&K on boil to deprive people of dev: Chugh

Srinagar, May 16: National General Secretary of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Tarun Chugh on Thursday accused the Abdullah, Mufti and Gandhi-Nehru families of depriving Jammu and Kashmir of development, saying these families gave “destruction and ruin in place of peace and quiet”.
Addressing a meeting of the BJP workers in the Surankot area of Poonch district, Chugh said, “These three families and their dynastic parties have been looting the resources of J&K which were meant for the development and progress of the people.”
Highlighting the achievements of the Modi government in the last 10 years, Chugh said, “On one hand, there is development and trust under the leadership of Modi Ji, while on the other hand, Congress and National Conference represent corruption and ‘mafia raj’. Even today, these three nepotism parties are crushing the aspirations of the people to see a prosperous Jammu and Kashmir.”
In the last ten years, under the leadership of PM Modi, the definition, method and culture of politics in the country has changed. “During the rule of the opposition, there was appeasement, casteism, regionalism, nepotism as well as divisive politics in the name of religion,” he said, adding, “From 2004 to 2014, there was an atmosphere of disappointment and frustration in the country. Since 2014, the situation of the country changed and under the leadership of Modi Ji, a self-reliant and prosperous India has been created.”
Chugh claimed that under the leadership of the Modi government, India’s economy reached 5th from 11th position in the world. “The world’s cheapest and most effective medicines are being made in India. Under the PM Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana, 5 kg of food grains are being provided free of cost to 80 crore people,” he said.
The BJP leader added, “Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, 25 crore people of India have come out of the poverty line and extreme poverty has been reduced to less than one percent. Today, a healthy India has been created by providing annual health cover of Rs 5 lakh to 55 crore people. The Modi government, dedicated to service, good governance and poor welfare, is making India corruption-free, which the opposition does not like.”
