JAMMU, Aug 6: Former minister and senior Congress leader Raman Bhalla today assailed the BJP-PDP Govt for utterly failing in deliverance, saying that both parties have lost confidence and mandate of the people of Jammu.
“The 2014 excitement, expectations and display is terribly missing with disregard growing among people due to policy paralysis of the Govt, which is struggling to put its act together after plunging the State into unprecedented political and administrative crisis,” Bhalla said while addressing workers at Preet Nagar in Gandhi Nagar Assembly Constituency.
Speaking on the occasion, Bhalla said that the people of Jammu are feeling let down and betrayed, as their problems are accumulating with each passing day. He said the arrogance of power and lack of governance has distanced the BJP from its core agenda, people of Jammu hugely realizing the mistake of putting them into the cradle of administrators.
“For over six decades, the BJP had been exploiting the Jammu sentiment by crying hoarse over the so-called discrimination, deprivation and neglect but when it came to delivering, they just raised their hands”, he said, adding that not only the BJP pushed the region to backwards but also turned out as a big obstacle in its development and progress.
Reacting over the decision of the Government to introduce Kashmiri language, Bhalla said that imposition of Kashmiri language in a selective manner in Jammu while doing nothing for Dogri , Punjabi and other languages spoken in the State smacks of nefarious motivations and sectarian objectives,” he alleged.
He blamed Coalition Govt mis-governance and mismanagement which has added miseries to people. “I want to ask PDP- BJP coalition, how many promises made by them during their election campaign were fulfilled,” Bhalla questioned.
Bhalla said that the basic needs of one’s life becoming unaffordable day by day due to soaring inflation. And the worst hit are the housewives, whose monthly budget has gone awry due to spiraling price hike of vegetables and fruits due to inflation. Households in the City are finding it hard to manage their monthly budget because of skyrocketing prices, he added.
