JAMMU, Jan 3: Former Minister and JKPCC working president, Raman Bhalla today alleged that BJP has been adopting the anti-people approach in the Jammu and Kashmir.
Addressing District Congress Committee Jammu (Urban) meeting at party office here today, Bhalla said that after abrogation of special status, the lands of poor are being snatched. The protection to jobs has gone and there are no jobs in Government and private sector. In this situation, the BJP government and UT administration is putting additional burden of all sorts of taxes on the poor.
He said when the people raise their voice, they are booked on frivolous charges and suppressed. He said that to divert the public attention from the failures on all the fronts, the BJP is trying to divide the people on communal lines. The atmosphere across the country has been vitiated with the patriotic Indians, due to attempt of the BJP to divide the common people on communal lines.
Bhalla said that the claims of BJP for opening of floodgates of private investments and creation of large scale jobs in private sector, as nothing of this sort has been witnessed. The local traders, contractors, businessmen and transporters are loosing business opportunities to outside residents, especially in Jammu region, while strongly criticizing the disbanding and downgrading of historical state into UT. He said that the promise of large scale Govt jobs and opening private sector for jobs, was a big bluff & joke with the educated youth of J&K.
The JKPCC leader accused the BJP government of exploiting their political powers vested in them by virtue of forming the Government at the Centre to target the Congress leadership and in an attempt to weak the opposition and distract the public attention away from their failures. He said the BJP has lost the moral right to go to Jammu people after betrayals and seek vote.
Reacting over the recently passed bill in the Parliament after throwing out 145 opposition MPs from the Parliament. Narinder Gupta, general secretary and former Chairman Jammu Bus Stand Travel Agency said it was most unfortunate that the bill was passed in a hidden way, as there was nobody in the Parliament to oppose the decision.
Prominent among those present in the meeting included Manmohan Singh, Suresh Dogra, Balbir Singh, Satish Sharma, Rajveer Singh, Michael Wazir, Jyoti Vaid, Manjeet Singh Jatt, Hoshiyar Singh, AP Singh Lucky, Ricky Dalotra, Rakesh Sharma, Pawan Sharma and others.
