Vijaypur, Sept 11: The contesting candidate of the Apni Party for Vijaypur Assembly Constituency, S. Manjit Singh has criticised BJP for adopting a policy to divide society for vote bank politics.
Addressing a series of public meetings as a part of ongoing election campaign in Vijaypur Assembly Constituency, S Manjit raised his concern over the election campaign adopted by the opponent political parties in Vijaypur to divide the voters in caste, creed, and religion.
“The voters are aware that the BJP has failed to fulfil the promises which they made with the people of Jammu and Kashmir. As far as Vijaypur is considered, the development has been stalled and the unemployment ratio has increased in the last ten years,” he said, assuring that the jobs in the industrial sector would be reserved for the local youth and no outsider will be allowed to replace them.
Asking the people to extend their support to him in the scheduled assembly elections, he said that the Apni Party will revamp the development in Vijaypur, and its villages by upgrading the road infrastructure and improving the living standard of the people.
“The developmental and welfare schemes have not been implemented on the ground, and the people have been rendered without support from the authorities because of the poor performance of the authorities which worked on the behest of BJP,” he stated.
He questioned the BJP for avoiding queries on development, growing unemployment, grab of resources by the non-locals, influence of mafia system in mining and liquor trade that has compromised the interest of the local people, who were dependent upon these trades.
