JAMMU, June 15: Former Minister and senior Congress leader Raman Bhalla today expressed utter disappointment over Defence Minister’s virtual rally in which the later failed to touch burning issues of J&K, and termed it futile exercise to reach out to the common man and address public issues.
Interacting with prominent persons of Gangyal in Gandhi Nagar Constituency, Bhalla said BJP Government is turning a blind eye towards the apprehensions and concerns of people of J&K, especially Jammu region. Taking a dig at Union Government, Bhalla claimed that Jammu region is reeling under shortage of various basic requirements but Government is unmoved.
Former Minister reminded BJP of fate of ambitious and prestigious developmental projects of Jammu where party did nothing in implementation of the flagship programme of Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojna, designed to provide continuous power supply to rural areas, Artificial River Tawi Lake Project and its allied project with regard to beautification of the Suryaputri water body, Jammu Gandola, Smart City Project.
Expressing his anguish over mounting problems of the common masses, Bhalla said that during last six years the Union Government has done nothing to solve basic problems of the people and added, “Claims of Government are confined only to papers”.
The senior Congress leader said that the alarming unemployment, price rise of essential commodities, large scale disinvestment of public sector units, attack on social security system like pension, amendment in labour laws in favour of corporate, outsourcing, unbundling of Government departments in a massive way with the abolition of permanent post has caused large scale resentment among the employees/workers in almost all sectors.
Bhalla added that huge burden put on the working people by way of GST and withdrawal of subsidy on essential items of livehood are causing immeasurable suffering to the people.
