SAMBA, July 1: While Mehbooba Mufti succeeded in implementing a significant part of her agenda during the aborted coalition rule, the BJP hopelessly failed to deliver on even a single promise made by it with its electorates.
This was stated by Harsh Dev Singh JKNPP Chairman and former Minister while addressing public meetings in Supwal in Samba constituency and in Mubarak Mandi Heritage complex in Jammu East today.
“The erstwhile rule witnessed the complete eclipse of Jammu related issues with both State and Central Govt desperately wooing Mehbooba Mufti and her Kashmir centric agenda,” said Harsh.
He said the release of a record number of stone-pelters besides other notorious elements in Kashmir was ordered at the behest of Mehbooba Mufti as a part of her political agenda, adding the declaration of unilateral ceasefire which was initially opposed by Army as well as Defence Minister was also ordered in a bid to appease Mehbooba and to promote her political agenda.
“Similarly, it was in the BJP-PDP Govt that a highly communal order with regard to the tribal settlements was issued with the saffron Ministers acting as mute spectators. Again the BJP had to eat a humble pie when PDP leadership prevailed in Rasana case refusing to honour the demand of Jammu people for CBI probe. And whereas the PDP leadership refused to budge even an inch with respect to its core philosophy, it was the BJP which made one surrender after the other and compromising eventually even the self respect and pride of Dogras”, regretted Singh.
Singh said that slogan of the abrogation of Art 370 which earlier remained the major poll plank of BJP for several decades, was sacrificed immediately after the elections at the altar of power politics, adding when Article 35A was challenged, the saffron flavoured govt of J&K hired five advocates in the court to defend the same, rued Harsh and maintained that the educated youth of Jammu bore the severest brunt of unethical alliance when their routine share in employment also went the Kashmir way. “With imbecile BJP leadership failing to assert in the wake of highly biased administrative set up and extremely prejudiced recruitment agencies, the educated youth of Jammu suffered the most hostile discrimination with an abysmally all time low share in employment,” lamented Singh.
“Not only had the BJP played with the emotions of the people but it had miserably failed on the development front as well,” said Harsh.
Pointing towards the utter neglect of Mubarak Mandi Project, Singh regretted that Dogra culture and heritage too suffered criminal apathy at the hands of BJP leadership.
