JAMMU, Oct 25: Pradesh Youth Congress lambasted the BJP for its failure to bring any investment after the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A in Jammu and Kashmir.
Addressing a press conference here today, PYC chief, Uday Chib asked BJP leadership why it has befooled the people of J&K on the name of Articles 370 and 35A. He said before removing the Articles 370 and 35A, State BJP leaders have much hyped this sensitive issue and had assured the people of J&K that the removal of these Articles will bring investment, employment avenues and ample opportunities for the people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. He said despite of fulfilling their promises BJP has ditched the people of J&K by bringing Sarore Toll Plaza, one-time road tax of 9-10 per cent and privatization of Power Development Department which will hike massive power bills in J&K.
Chib also welcomed the initiatives taken by the BJP for the welfare of people of Kashmir Valley. He said PYC has welcomed the initiative of BJP for grant Rs 500 cr for Srinagar Municipal Corporation and bringing an investment of Rs 2000 crore for the Kashmir Valley. He said similarly on the other hand BJP is discriminating with the people of Jammu region by giving them a lollipop of fake promises. He mentioned that in the last one year since the ULB elections has conducted in the J&K, only Rs 45 crore has been granted for Jammu.
PYC president said firstly the BJP Government at the Centre has imposed heavy traffic penalties on the people of the country by amending the Motor Vehicle Act 2019 and now Government forcibly installing the Toll Plaza in Jammu region in a hurriedly manner. Besides this two more toll plazas are also in offing in the Jammu region, he added.
The Youth leader said that people of Jammu and Kashmir will teach a befitting lesson to the BJP for trampling their mandate and pushing the State to unprecedented crisis. He said Congress has always believed in upholding the best of the democratic practices and processes.
Ajaz Choudhary PYC vice president, Raneet Chopra , Nimrandeep Singh and Ricky Dalotra general secretaries were also present.
