RAMNAGAR, Oct 26:  Accusing the BJP of having failed to fulfill even a single promise made to its electorates during 2014 Assembly elections, NPP chairman and former minister Harsh Dev Singh today said that coming elections would prove to be a waterloo for its fake and dishonest leaders.
He said that those who had abused the public trust would not only be made accountable and answerable but appropriately replied and responded. He said that simmering underlying discontent was fast bursting into fury as was noticed in several Ramnagar villages where people were openly confronting the mandated leadership.
“It’s not easy to deceive people. Today people remember each word spoken during elections, each action, each promise and each pledge. How hard we try, we can’t wipe the slate clean and erase the public memory with one new shot. You have to account for the U-turns that you took on your promises made during elections and on the strength of which you were voted to power”, Singh while addressing huge public meetings in Rassaul, Marta, Battal and Babey villages during his two days tour of Ramnagar constituency.
Alleging deprivation and neglect of rural and remote areas, farmers and youth by the erstwhile regime, Singh said that grim political regression of saffron rule shall continue to haunt the people of Jammu region.  “Nobody spoke for the educated youth of Jammu region who were subjected to the most hostile discrimination in services during the last few years. No any mandated leader could rake up the cause of daily rated and other casual and need based workers who were denied wages for years together. No MLA could raise his voice in Assembly against the anti- Jammu stance taken by the Kashmir centric leadership on multifarious issues including holiday of Maharaja Hari Singh’s birthday, blatant discrimination against Jammu region and growing unemployment and so on. And no body had the guts to confront the Kashmir based MLA who raised pro- Pak slogans inside the Assembly,” said Singh.
Charging the BJP MLAs of failure on all fronts, Singh said they could neither satisfy the people on developmental front nor could protect the honour and dignity of Dogras.
