Dhema (Khoon), Nov 20: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday said people have rejected traditional parties like National Conference and Peoples Democratic Party “as people are well aware of their gimmicks and have stood firm behind PM Narendra Modi’s ‘Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas’ agenda.”
This was stated by Ranbir Singh Pathania, Spokesperson J&K BJP. He while addressing a series of meetings at Dhema, Manwal, Majalta, and Rowndomail said that “all the slogans, promises and false hopes shown by these political parties have turned hollow.”
The people of J&K stand firm behind BJP’s gospel of ‘Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas’. “In DDC elections also these political parties ganged up under the one banner of PAGD but even then the people of J&K voted for BJP.”
He said with the inclusion of new communities under ST category, taking of historic development initiatives, B2V, public outreach, transparency in selections and allotment of tenders, the people of J&K seem enthused by the new model. “Justice and meritocracy is the hallmark over here.”
“More so, the way the Prime Minister and Home Minister have created an atmosphere at national to international level with strong-willed stand against terror has again struck a direct chord with the people of J&K. No state could afford to stand soft against terrorism.”
Identifying the growing need to strike and formulate a global strategy against the increased threat of terrorism, he said, India convened third ‘No Money For Terror’ Ministerial Conference on Counter-Terrorism Financing in New Delhi.
“It is significant that this conference is happening in India. Our country faces the horrors of terror long before the world took serious note of it. Over the decades, terrorism in different names and forms tried to hurt India. We lost thousands of precious lives, but we have fought terrorism bravely,” he quoted PM Modi as having said.
The meetings also harped on various initiatives and organisational programmes of the party.
Among others those who were present included Kuldeep Singh District General Secretary, Mohan Lal Sharma, Capt Gopal Singh Mankotia (Both Mandal Pardhans), Shiv Ram, Ved Pal, Baldev Singh Mankotia (Mandal General Secretaries), Ramesh Gupta, Karnail Singh, Sudesh Kumar, Charan Dass, Suneet Singh, Haji Mohd Din, Surinder Singh Sarpanch, Manoj Verma, Nek Ram, Haji Azeem, Ankush Verma, Mohan Lal, Saif Ali, Subash Chander and others.
