JAMMU, Dec 4: Provincial president of Women Wing of National Conference Satwant Kaur Dogra today strongly criticized PDP-BJP Government for raising rates of CAPD ration by 60% when the FCI is providing the food grains on old rates.
“The Government has betrayed the poor people whom they exploited during elections by making tall promises that turn out to be just hoax,” Satwant said while addressing the NC delegates meeting at NC office Samba today.
Launching a scathing attack on the Government, Satwant Kaur Dogra said this sudden increase in the rate of “atta” by 62% and rice by 50% without any justified reason has exposed the anti- poor face of BJP-PDP Government. She said that the State is going through one of the harshest period where poor people are facing the brunt and with such hikes in ration the poor is being punished more.
It seems that Government is hell bent on making the people suffer for everyday needs badly. While terming the move anti-people, she said that the people of the state are already suffering a lot due to continuous border firing and increasing prices of ration at this juncture is a severe blow on common man.
NC leader charged the PDP and BJP of working at cross purposes, saying the people are suffering adversely as a consequence. Unfortunately, the BJP Government has only done things that appeal to its core, committed base and has virtually forgotten the large section of people who voted for “development” not “division”. BJP’s biggest promise to the young voter was to create jobs each year and regularization of thousands of workers. But BJP failed to keep that promise.
Satwant asked NC delegates to reach out to the public in every nook and corner of the constituency and leave no stone unturn to consolidate and strengthen the party at grassroot level.
Ramesh Kumar, Ashok Kumar Bhagat, Rasaal Singh, Rama Sambyal, Asif Ali, Baldev Raj, Prabh Dayal, Madan Lal and Kishori Lal also addressed the delegates.
