JAMMU, Sept 9: Former Deputy Chief Minister and senior BJP leader, Kavinder Gupta in a statement today said that the BJP is the only party with principles and internal democracy whose every member is dedicated to the society with the “sense of service, balance, patience, coordination, positive attitude, sensitivity and dialogue –the seven points that are followed by every worker.
“This is the only party where a booth-level worker like me can become Speaker of Legislative Assembly and Deputy Chief Minister of Jammu & Kashmir and booth level worker like J. P Nadda can rise through the ranks and become national president and son of a tea vendor can become Prime Minister,” Gupta said.
Criticizing Congress, Gupta said “A party that can’t ensure internal democracy can safeguard democracy in the country,” he quipped while emphasising that this was key difference between the BJP and the Congress, whom he also accused of corruption and scams during their rule in the country. “There was Rs 18 lakh crore worth of scam during the UPA Government but not a single case has taken place since the BJP Government led by Narendra Modi has come to power,” he claimed.
Former Dy. CM said in its 60 years of rule, the Congress can hardly boast three achievements whereas the Modi Government has taken hundreds of important decisions, including the abrogation of Article 370 & 35 A from J&K, nullifying Tripple Talak, surgical strike, GST and demonetisation. “BJP Governments take decisions that are good for the country and its people,” said Kavinder Gupta.
Gupta alleged that in the six decades of Congress rule at Centre, the previous Governments in the State of Jammu and Kashmir there was no development saying that it was lack of the will and desire to deliver to the people of the country and erstwhile State in particular. After BJP came to power at Centre the J&K has witnessed an era of development and many Centrally sponsored projects and institutions have been given to Jammu and Kashmir. He said Narendra Modi has a special concern for the people of J&K, which can be witnessed from the fact that every project promised by him for J&K has been granted and approved.
He urged the workers to strengthen the hands of BJP and its national president, J.P Nadda.
