BJP on its last legs in J&K: Harsh

AAP holds large road show in Jammu

JAMMU, May 15: Peeved over the failure of the Government to meet the power and drinking water requirements of the people besides their neglect by the LG’s administration over host of issues, the AAP held a massive road show in Jammu which started from Janipur and culminated at Bantalab.
The procession was organized by Amit Kapoor, president Jammu- Poonch Lok Sabha constituency while Harsh Dev Singh, former minister was leading. The road show started from Janipur Colony and it comprises of large number of vehicles and motor bikes with prominent AAP leaders including Mushtaq Ahmed, Param Vir Singh, Gagan Pratap Singh, Harpreet Singh, Rajni Jamwal, PK Parihar, SS Chib and others joining the procession.
Addressing the rally at Ban Bantalab Harsh Dev Singh lambasted the Government for accusing the general masses for power crisis in the name of power theft. The govt can’t absolve itself from the responsibility of ensuring un-interrupted supply of basic amenities merely by deflecting the blame upon the public at large. And it’s not the common man who is involved in power theft, mind you. It’s the big, moneyed, powerful and influential people who are using more power by abusing their position and authority and failing to pay the power tariff”, Singh asserted.
He said the position of water supply was equally pathetic with the concerned authorities having miserably failed to fulfil even the drinking water requirements of the people. The govt which had assured 24X7 power supply and “Har Ghar Nal” Scheme had failed to redeem its lofty promises with all round disenchantment growing rapidly amongst the masses. With BJP on its last legs, the people were eagerly awaiting for the much needed change in the erstwhile state, Singh claimed.
Amit Kapoor urged upon the people to strengthen AAP in J&K so that the common masses could be assured of justice and fair deal. He said that the govt had not only failed to provide basic amenities to the people but had posed the most menacing threat to the very survival of poor and marginalized sections of the society through uncontrolled prices of essentials and raging inflation.
