Jammu, June 13: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) working president Raman Bhalla Bhalla on Tuesday said there is a strong resentment among the people of Jammu region towards the BJP which has “miserably failed to address even basic issues”.
Addressing a public delegation that called on him, Bhalla said, “A majority of people (from the delegation) maintained that no new developments but only facelifts of previous works were done.
He said there was “total chaos and confusion” among the people as the BJP leadership has “failed to remove peoples’ apprehensions”. “On one hand, there is complete uncertainty in J&K, while on the other hand, people are confronting with failure of the administration to solve day- to-day problems,” he said, adding that most parts of the Jammu city are facing scarcity of potable water and power.
He blamed BJP for “betraying” the people of Jammu on the issue of statehood and “misleading” them on various “emotive” issues. He said only Congress is a secular party and never believes in caste, creed and colour.
“It is only Congress which can keep the whole J&K united. It is most unfortunate that the common people have no medium to raise their voices for their basic necessities due to the neglect of the BJP representatives. The people have to come on roads to express their anger and seek redressal of their genuine grievances,” he said.
