JAMMU, June 9: The working president of JKPCC, Raman Bhalla today hit out at BJP Government over the political uncertainty in Jammu and Kashmir and said fresh elections should be held in J&K as BJO was unable to address issues of J&K people.
He said the “opportunistic BJP” has brought J&K to such an impasse where public interest has been hit by personal ambitions. “People have been watching the political developments with disgust and are wondering as to how the BJP could trample the mandate they had given for steering the state to peace, progress and development,” he said.
Bhalla asked BJP to “shun hypocrisy” and make public admission of their wrong judgement, misgovernance and poor performance.
Former minister slammed the BJP for pursuing the politics of polarization and exploiting the sentiments of Jammuites by raising hollow slogans.”The eight years of the BJP rule exposed the party, which pursued self-centric agenda and let down the people on every front,” Bhalla said while interacting with aggrieved people of Marakari as a part of door to door campaign to listen to public grievances.
Bhalla further said that BJP gave Jammu nothing except reactionary and hate politics which eventually took toll of governance. The damage done to Jammu psyche is immense and the BJP leadership will have to come clear on the compelling reasons for ignoring the interests of this region. Bhalla said the BJP compromised with the interest of people and bartered the development of Jammu in a big way.
He said the utility services had almost turned dysfunctional while the developmental tempo came to grinding halt. He particularly made a mention of the services like power, drinking water, roads, health etc. and said a crisis like situation prevailed in every sector due to lack of vision and will do anything for Jammu.
Assuring the people of getting their problems redressed, Bhalla said the developmental inertia of the BJP has shattered their faith in democratic polity. “The BJP will get a befitting reply during the ensuing elections for its misrule and denial of justice to the people of Jammu,” he added.
