Chenani, Feb 26: Accusing the BJP of having failed and floundered in honouring its commitments with the people of J&K ever since its ascendance to power at the centre, Former Minister and senior NPP leader Harsh Dev Singh said that the saffron party was thriving merely on empty rhetoric and false propaganda.
“While it promised a Job bonanza for educated youth post Art 370 abrogation, it did exactly the opposite of what it had assured,” he said while addressing public meetings in Samroli and Ghantwal villages of Chenani constituency.
“It not only terminated several hundreds and thousands of youth working in various govt deptts but also put the existing vacant govt jobs to auction with the middlemen extorting huge money from prospective Job seekers in the name of employment,” he added.
Singh said the lands of poor farmers are being forcibly retrieved and indigent rural masses being forced to starvation.
“The Health and educational institutions in rural areas are facing chronic deficiency of staff with a highly insensitive remote controlled regime averse to the woes of the common masses”.
The former minister said the BJP had proved to be a party of ‘Jumlas’ with a complete mismatch between its promises and delivery.
“The BJP leadership exploited the gullibility of the innocent voters during all elections held in the past eight years, including those of Parliament, Assembly, BDC and DDC, without delivering anything on the ground”.
Urging upon the people to recognize the real face of BJP behind its deceptive facades, Harsh Dev said that it was coming out with new slogans during each elections only to conceal its past failures and to enkindling new hopes amongst the poor indigent and deprived masses in order to fulfil its political ambitions.
He said that the innocence of poor hapless people was once again exploited during the last DDC elections when several central BJP leaders indulged in boisterous extravaganza promising moon to the people.
“They made tall promises of early restoration of statehood, immediate Assembly elections, review of toll plazas, employment packages for the educated youth and so on and so forth,” Singh added.
He lamented that the people fell prey to such declamatory and bombastic talks of the ‘Jumle baaz’ leaders who only specialized in emotional mobilization and showmanship. He urged upon the people to wake up to the falsehood and innuendo of BJP which has been tailoring its slogans with the sole aim of capturing power.
