CHENNAI, Feb 26: Accusing the BJP of having failed and floundered in honouring its commitments with the people of J&K, Harsh Dev Singh, former Minister and senior NPP leader said that the saffron party was thriving merely on empty rhetoric and false propaganda.
“While it promised a Job bonanza for educated youth post Art 370 abrogation, it did exactly the opposite by terminating several youth working in various Govt deptts. The lands of poor farmers are being forcibly retrieved and indigent rural masses being forced to starvation. The Health and educational institutions in rural areas are facing chronic deficiency of staff. The BJP leadership exploited the gullibility of the innocent voters during all elections held in the past eight years, including those of Parliament, Assembly, BDC and DDC, without delivering anything on the ground,” he said while addressing public meetings in Samroli and Ghantwal villages of Chenani constituency today.
Urging upon the people to recognize real face of BJP behind its deceptive facades, Harsh Dev said that it was coming out with new slogans during each elections only to conceal its past failures and to enkindling new hopes amongst the poor indigent and deprived masses in order to fulfil its political ambitions. He urged upon the people to wake up to the falsehood and innuendo of BJP which has been tailoring its slogans with the sole aim of capturing power.
Pointing towards the local issues of the area, Mr. Singh called for opening of adequate number of ration depots in the remote areas so as to facilitate the delivery of civil supplies to the people in their native villages. He regretted that several Panchayats of Chenani including Kither, Chirdi, Ladha, Chapper etc did not have any ration depot as a result of which the eligible BPL families had to travel 8-10 kms on foot to collect their subsidized ration thereby defeating the very purpose of the scheme. He called for timely release of installments under PM’s Awas Yojana which had been delayed for years in several cases. He called for early payment of compensation for lands and structures acquired from farmers for construction of PMGSY roads namely Karlah road, Ghantwal road, Chirdi Ladha road, Naugalta-Rajar road; Tandhar-Charat road, Satyalta and Pakhlai roads.
