JAMMU, Nov 2: With people’s distrust in BJP having exacerbated due to its cowardly surrenders after coming to power, Harsh Dev Singh, chairman, JKNPP and former Minister today said that the party stood decimated in Jammu province and had yielded its space to Panthers Party.
He said that the saffron leaders who earlier groaned on trivial issues with slogans of demolishing the father – daughter party had abandoned their core philosophy only to play the role of junior partner in the PDP Government.
Harsh Dev said that in view of the BJP having melted before PDP for the lust of power, the Panthers Party had emerged as the most natural choice for the people of Jammu region. Harsh was addressing a meeting of Bantalab and Durga Nagar residents who joined the Panthers Party today in Jammu.
He said that it happened first time in the saffron flavoured Government that ex-gratia and jobs were announced for stone pelters and others engaged in hate India campaign. He regretted that Jammu’s share in employment witnessed a terminal decline during the present rule with highly educated youth of Jammu bearing the brunt of pusillanimity and cowardice of BJP leaders.
The JKNPP chairman further said that BJP had given its electorates the shocker of their lifetimes by its cowardly surrenders over the issues of Sainik Colonies and KP Townships in Kashmir, new Industrial Policy, retention of Lakhanpur Toll Plaza, Artificial Tawi Lake project, besides employment issues.
Harsh Dev claimed that Panthers Party alone could restore the lost pride and dignity of Dogras. He said that Panthers Party had launched a full throttle campaign against the neglect and deprivation of Jammu region and would not relent till the Dogra land was treated an equal partner in development and governance.
Balwant Singh Mankotia said that Panthers Party was fast reclaiming the confidence of the Jammu region people due to its persistent and determined fight for their rights. He appealed people to strengthen JKNPP as it was the only regional party of the State fighting for Jammu.
