JAMMU, Apr 6: Senior All India Congress Committee leader and former J&K Chief Minister, Ghulam Nabi Azad today said that BJP has employed the strategy of spreading hatred among communities and violence to come back to power.
“BJP is practising the politics of spreading hatred and enmity across the country just for the sake of coming back to power. This party has abandoned good sense and is not taking into consideration the well-being of the nation and the people,” Azad said, further claiming that the BJP is out to divide the nation and its society along caste and communal lines.
“For Congress, the country always comes first and the party comes later. Congress never did anything which was against the interests of the people and will never do so in the future,” Azad said while addressing election rally in Gandhinagar constituency.
He appealed to the people not to fall prey to BJP’s “communal agenda” and ensure a peaceful co-existence. Azad further said a Congress-led government will come to power at the Centre after the Lok Sabha polls. He also expressed his confidence that Raman Bhalla would be elected from the Jammu-Poonch seat with bigger margin.
Azad said that the country is suffering from serious health issues because its soul was under a constant threat during Narendra Modi led regime.”We all follow some faith and religion but in politics our religion should be guided by our constitution only. People of other countries, who believe in democracy, respect our constitution but unfortunately our own Prime Minister is not following it,” Azad said.
“Our country is in danger because Modi government works against the constitution and political opponents feel scared, which was not the case during the government of the BJP stalwart Atal Bihari Vajpayee who always advocated healthy opposition.”Azad said the BJP was dividing people on religious and caste lines.
“In 2014, the BJP won elections by polarizing voters and creating a divide among Hindus and Muslims. This time the party is repeating its last election strategy and once again seeking votes on division instead of development,” the former J&K chief minister said.
“By speaking frequent lies a narrative has been set that only Congress and Nehru-Gandhi family ruled country since independence but in reality only three members of the Nehru family became prime ministers and country’s top most position was held by many non-Congress parties and leaders,” Azad said.
Meanwhile, PCC senior vice president and Congress candidate from Jammu-Poonch seat , Raman Bhalla while addressing election rally along with senior NC leader, SS Slathia in Vijaypur said that BJP always played communal card for winning elections. He said that the people have understood the designs of people and they will teach this party a lesson. He claimed that Congress would win these elections with thumping majority.
Bhalla also held series of public meetings at Model Town, Gangyal, Kunjwani, Langar, Nai Basti and Satwari also and appealed to the people to support Congress party for better development in Jammu-Poonch Lok Sabha constituency.
