JAMMU, May 2: Former MLA and senior Congress leader Balwan Singh today said that BJP Government at the Centre has not done any work in the public interest in J&K.
The double engine Government of the BJP has harassed every section of society and has not done anything itself but has been appearing in advertisements claiming the works of the Congress Party as its own.
While interacting with the Congress workers at Marh organized by senior Congress leader Ashok Bhagat, former MLA accused BJP of disregarding the aspirations of the people of J&K. He said that the ruling party had failed to inspire millions of the new UT. There is zero focus on development, the infrastructure is dying out and people are being denied basic civil amenities like power and water.
He gave a clarion call to people of J&K and across the country to root out the BJP government which according to him is weakening the rural economy and hereditary trades and playing havoc with the farm sector, only to hand over agricultural sector to the Corporate sector.
Singh strongly flayed the UT Administration and BJP for the indifferent attitude towards the daily wagers, need based and other casual workers and demanded immediate framing and implementation of regularization policy for them. He said that these people were engaged from time to time by the concerned officers and officials to run various water, power supply schemes and to run emergency services, but after decades of services they are not even regularly paid their wages and not regularized.
Ashok Bhagat accused the ruling BJP of betraying the massive mandate given by the people in both parliamentary and the assembly elections. Growing public disenchantment is a reflection of dismal performance of government on all the fronts” he said. He said, BJP exploited public sentiment, not only by whipping up passions on religion and region but also by making hollow promises about development.
