Jammu, June 27: JKPCC working president Raman Bhalla on Tuesday criticized the government for its “failure” to deliver on its promises to the citizens.
“The nine years of the performance of the Modi government can be described as a waste of nine years as it had failed on all fronts, including the socio-economic front. Right from employment to fuel prices, GDP, agriculture, inflation, and public sector banks’ bad loans, the NDA government’s nine years of performances have been marked by failure and broken promises,” Bhalla said in a statement.
According to the statement, Bhalla conducted a tour of various areas of RS Pura Jammu South and Sucetgarh constituencies.
He said, “The BJP came to power in 2014 with the promise to change the fortunes of the people of India with the promise to bring ‘acche din’. Nine years later, the people of the country are still waiting for the acche din. The Modi government sold ‘acche din’ dream which was never fulfilled and the NDA government’s false promises have now been exposed. This government is responsible for the ‘poor’ economic indicators of the country. In the past nine years, the only achievement of the Modi government is the creation of social tension, controversial statements by MPs and leaders of the BJP.”
The JKPCC leader hit out at the BJP government at the Centre, saying it made “false promises” to people and is running on “crutches of slogans”. “Congress is the only alternative available to the people in J&K and now the public has made up its mind to bring back Congress to power,” he said, adding, “The people of Jammu have experienced that BJP has cheated them on different emotional slogans and false promises only to achieve power but back-tracked on all those issues for the sake of power. The BJP exploited the people on different slogans in the name of religion, regions and castes but it was a tool to seek votes through these emotional issues.”
Asserting that Jammu and Kashmir’s residents want the restoration of their “honour and dignity”, Bhalla demanded holding the much-delayed assembly elections in the Union Territory for the “empowerment of the people”.
