JAMMU, Jan 16: Senior NC leader and former Minister Ajay Kumar Sadhotra today accused the BJP of betraying the massive mandate it received from the people of Jammu in the Assembly elections by failing to fulfill its promise of restoring Statehood to Jammu and Kashmir.
Addressing public meeting at Sarara Rattanpur in Ghagwal block, District Samba which was organized by Sat Pal and Chander Udhay Singh, Sadhotra lambasted the BJP for indulging in rhetoric and divisive politics instead of enabling a situation for the popularly elected Government under the leadership of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to address the pressing issues faced by the people of the region. The dual control has hugely impacted the governance, he added.
“The BJP has once again shown its disregard for the aspirations of the people by delaying the restoration of Statehood for Jammu and Kashmir,” Sadhotra said, adding that “instead of delivering on its promises, the party thrives on communal politics and hollow slogans.”
Former Minister assailed the BJP’s approach to governance, accusing it of superimposing itself as the so-called ultra-nationalist entity while acting against the inclusive and diverse fabric of the Indian nation.
“Their reactionary and impulsive politics has inflicted more harm than good, both to the nation at large and to Jammu and Kashmir in particular,” he said, citing rising unemployment, spiraling inflation, and rampant corruption as direct consequences of the BJP’s mis-governance.
He reiterated his party’s unwavering commitment to providing good governance, accountability, job creation and inclusive development in Jammu and Kashmir.
“The National Conference, is resolute in its efforts to meet the aspirations of the people. Our focus is on delivering fast-track recruitment processes, developmental initiatives, and policies that uplift every section of society,” he said.
Prominent among those present on the occasion included- Mohd Ayoub Malik Provincial secretary, Raghubir Singh Manhas District president Jammu Rural-A, Ch Mohd Aslam, Sandeep Singh, Rajesh Bakshi and others.
