JAMMU, Nov 26: Former minister and senior Congress leader, Mula Ram on Tuesday said that there is strong resentment among people of Raipur- Domana constituency towards BJP which has miserably failed to address even basic issues of the people of the constituency.
While addressing a public meeting organized by DCC Rural president, Hari Singh Chib here today, the former minister said that majority of people maintained that no new developments but only facelifts of previous works were done in the area, whereas, untold stories of neglect were uttered by border firing victims.
“BJP was in power at the Centre and in the erstwhile J&K State too, it was easy for the party to forward issues of common masses through their Government in the State to the Union Ministry concerned, for mitigating the sufferings of people but they took them casually,” Mula Ram said referring to the former MLA of area.
DCC Rural president, Hari Singh Chib, in his address, pointed out that there was total chaos and confusion among people as BJP leadership has failed to remove peoples’ apprehensions. “On the one hand, there is complete uncertainty in J&K, while on the other hand people are confronting with failure of the administration to solve day today problems”, he said, adding that most parts of the city are facing scarcity of potable water and power and dilapidated condition of lanes.
He blamed BJP for betraying the people of Jammu on the issue of statehood and misleading the people on various emotive issues. He asserted that BJP Government has betrayed people of Jammu by reducing status of a state to union territory and Govt is also not coming clear on many issues.
Chib said that only Congress is a secular party and never believes in caste, creed and colour. He claimed that it is only Congress which can keep the whole J&K united.
