Jammu, Dec 03: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) Working President Raman Bhalla on Sunday said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has lost its moral authority to approach the people of Jammu, citing a series of betrayals.
The former minister took a swipe at the BJP, highlighting the “trail of deception and a failed government”. He said the Modi Government failed in the areas of the economy, foreign policy, communal harmony, inflation, farmers’ income, national security, and the welfare of marginalised communities such as the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and other backward classes.
Bhalla alleged the nine years of BJP rule has made the J&K “miserable”. “The people of J&K have only seen the scene of devastation in nine years. The BJP government has thrown J&K into devastation. Deteriorating economic condition and rising unemployment have become the most pressing problems before the nation,” he said, adding, “It is time for us to stand in the name of humanity against ideas of divisiveness and nefarious designs of perpetuating identity-based hatred by destructive forces in order to save this nation.”
“Our deteriorating economic condition and rising unemployment have become the most pressing problems before J&K. Anti-people policies of the government have made the everyday life of common citizen miserable,” he added.
Coming down heavily on the BJP leadership for indulging in a “misinformation campaign” against Congress, Bhalla said, “Who provided basic facilities to the people since Independence? Who raised such a vast infrastructure like hospitals, and government buildings? Who laid rail lines? Which party ensured air services across the country and abroad? Who brought the Green Revolution to the country? Who brought the IT Revolution? It is all due to the concerted efforts of great leaders like Prime Ministers Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, Rajiv Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, and Manmohan Singh that India is on the path of prosperity. What BJP is doing? It is just inaugurating the mega projects which were built and completed by the Congress party.”
He added, “In Jammu and Kashmir also, we initiated big infrastructure projects in J&K. You see hospitals, road connectivity, schools, degree colleges, university campuses, medical colleges, widening of Jammu-Srinagar national highway, numerous drinking water supply schemes, power supply to all almost every village and remote belt of the state. It is not BJP but tireless efforts of Congress party that the people of the J&K are on the path of development and prosperity.”
