JAMMU, Apr 22: Former Minister and senior Congress leader Raman Bhalla today said that the people of Jammu region have been left on the mercy of God by the BJP Ministers and legislators to whom they have given massive mandate.
While interacting with the people of Gorkha Nagar Bahu Fort area in Gandhi Nagar constituency here today, Bhalla said the people of Jammu were feeling cheated under BJP-PDP rule.
The meeting was organized by Karuna Chhetri, President Gorka Bradhari.
Karuna Chhetri told former Minister that the Jammu Kashmir State has a Gorkha population of around one lakh, adding that it was an appalling State of affairs that the Jammu and Kashmir State has still not taken adequate measures to rehabilitate Gorkhas.
Speaking on the occasion, Bhalla said that the BJP Ministers have totally surrendered before the PDP for the sake of power and there was strong resentment among the people here.
Bhalla said the soaring prices of essential commodities have badly affected the middle class and the poor families.
While slamming both Central and the State Governments for their failure to control rising inflation that has badly affected domestic budget, Bhalla said this Govt has failed to contain price hike.
Terming the tenure of Coalition Government as an example of complete betrayal as all their poll promises proved to be hollow, Bhalla said despite getting huge mandate from Jammu and Kashmir respectively, PDP-BJP failed to deliver on single platform because of their indulgent in personal issues putting the State into lurch.
While alleging that people of many localities of Jammu city are facing shortage of water, ration and other crisis, former Minister said that rising inflation coupled with other problems have made the life of people miserable in the State.
Bhalla said that BJP is working totally against the interest of poor, farmers, unemployed youth and working class in country.
He said that the Coalition Government has failed in reaching out to the suffering border residents and those who have been affected by the rains and the overall scenario across the State is horribly pathetic.
