JAMMU, Sept 28: Taking a dig at BJP, former Minister and additional general secretary JKNC, Ajay Kumar Sadhotra today said that party had betrayed the people of Jammu and Kashmir by making tall claims and promising them “Acchhe Din” under their rule but, they ruined everything and now people are feeling suffocated under the present regime.
Sadhotra said this while addressing a public meeting organized by JKNC Central Zone at Janipur. He was the chief guest on the occasion. The meeting was presided over by former minister and president, JKNC Central Zone, Babu Rampaul. The meeting was organized by Dr Vikas Sharma, Zonal secretary and Coordinator Jammu District (Jammu) and Rajinder Kumar.
“BJP made several promises with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, and gave them a dream of a golden era. They promised jobs, development, corruption free governance and many more things. The innocent people trusted the words of BJP leadership and given huge mandate with a hope of turnaround in their life. But now, their tall claims stand exposed,” Sadhotra said.
Now, people have realized that it was nothing but a gimmick of BJP to grab power, he said and added that BJP was making policies and programmes only to help the rich and affluent people gain more and more wealth, and poor and downtrodden were being made resourceless.
Speaking on Women Reservation Bill, he said, this too was a political gimmick to garner the votes of women. “If BJP was really serious on granting political reservation to women, it would have implemented the same with immediate effect but they imposed several conditions which makes it impossible for reservation to women become reality before 2029.
Babu Rampaul severely criticized the present dispensation and said that BJP robbed everything from people of J&K. Post August 5, 2019, the rights and resources of people have been snatched and they have been left on the mercy of God. He said BJP snatched statehood from people of J&K and deprived them of elected government and now people are being subjected to heavy taxation in different forms.
Senior leaders Raghubir Singh Manhas , Chander Mohan Sharma , Dr Vikas Sharma and Rajinder Kumar also spoke on the occasion.
