JAMMU, Apr 21: JKPCC working president Raman Bhalla today said that after coming to power by making tall poll promises, the Narendra Modi-led BJP Government at the Centre had miserably failed on all fronts and hence it was deflecting the people’s attention by raising sensitive issues.
Bhalla was addressing prominent persons of Ward-48 Bahu Fort in Gandhi Nagar constituency. He said BJP Government failed to fulfill the poll promises made in 2014 like generating two crore employment opportunities a year, controlling inflation and fuel price, transparent governance, etc., and is following seven ‘guiding principles’ of unleashing fear, mal-administration, data manipulation, divide and rule policy, making false statements, politicizing war against terror and silencing dissents to deflect the people’s attention.
“Innocents are being killed in J&K and the Modi Government, which speaks all the time of security, is missing,” Bhalla said. He also said that the Modi Government made tall claims about eradicating terrorism from J&K but badly failed on this front. The situation in Kashmir is getting worse, but the Government seems oblivious of it,” he said.
The former Minister said that the BJP Government has failed on all fronts including huge decline in job opportunities and policy of oppression, repression and denial of rights to the scheduled caste and scheduled tribe and other weaker sections of the society. He accused BJP Government of “slowly but surely” undermining the values that a democratic polity should fiercely protect and called for a meaningful national debate on it.
“The Government’s tenure is marked by gross non-delivery, acknowledged failure to fulfill the promises given to the nation and a betrayal of the people, particularly the poor, disadvantaged and the unemployed,” Bhalla added.
Prominent among those present on the occasion were general secretary district Urban Latish Sharma, SC Cell vice chairman district Jammu Deewan Chand, vice president JKPYC Ricky Dalotra, Mulkh Raj, Balram Langeh, Sahil Shavotra, Mangat Ram and Gopal Sharma.
