CPI(M)’s Tarigami slams BJP’s ‘proxy’ parties in J&K

Kulgam, Sept 10: “The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has committed so many wrongdoings that they cannot compete with them in the assembly elections and are instead fielding proxy parties with no different background,” Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami said on Tuesday.
He was addressing rallies in the Kulgam constituency as part of the campaign for the assembly elections, scheduled for next week, the party said in a statement.
“They (BJP) know they will face tough challenges and be questioned for the harm they have done to the people of J&K. Since they can’t compete with us, they have brought in a new front, but with the same background as the ruling dispensation,” Tarigami said.
He warned the people with a metaphor, saying, “There is a new eagle in the market, which has already taken away chicks. People must protect their chicks, as this eagle has a habit of snatching them. The people of Kulgam should not forget that this eagle has allied with the big eagle, and they need to realise this sooner rather than later.”
Tarigami said the CPI(M) is committed to the development of Kulgam, and that “past achievements” are an eye-opener, with more initiatives promised after the elections. He urged the youth to focus on their education, saying, “The pen is mightier than anything.”
“This government has nothing to offer the youth except FIRs. It has become an FIR government, and we promise to confront them in the assembly, to demand accountability for the wrongs they’ve done to our youth and their future,” he added.
