JAMMU, Sept 18: Former Minister and senior Congress leader Raman Bhalla today said that the treachery and deceit of the BJP-PDP is haunting Jammu people who reposed their unflinching faith in them with the hope that Jammu may perhaps get a better deal as during the days of its wilderness in the opposition, the BJP leaders were crying hoarse over discrimination and neglect.
Former Minister slammed BJP for pushing the State, especially the Jammu region, to backwards on all fronts during its misrule for over three years in partnership with the PDP. The roadmap drawn by the previous Congress Government for development of the State and empowerment of the people got a huge dent in these three nightmarish years, resulting in development and administrative inertia, alarming increase in unemployment and poor implementation of various welfare schemes”, Bhalla said while addressing workers meeting at Delli in Ward 55 of Gandhi Nagar Constituency.
Bhalla said the people of Jammu are genuinely felling let down which is enormously reflected in the growing public disenchantment. He blamed the BJP for prevailing situation, saying the reactionary politics has done more harm to this region than any good. He said the youth have been hit the most, as their aspirations fell flat because of nepotism and favouritism pursued by the anti-youth Government. He referred to the jolt given to meritorious and talented educated youth of Jammu during various selections from time to time in the past three years and said realization has dawned among the people, especially the youth of Jammu, who have been pushed to the wall by the BJP.
Congress leader hoped that Governor’s administration will go for a course correction and concentrate on completing the developmental projects set in motion by the Congress Government. He said the BJP owes an explanation to the people of Jammu for failing and exploiting them emotionally. He said Congress is the only answer to the problems confronted to the State and steering it to peace, progress and development.
Bhalla asserted that PDP and BJP owe an apology from the people of the State for compromising their interests and creating unparalleled political, financial and security stalemate. Jammu and Kashmir is virtually at the cross roads, as the two mandated parties kept personal interests above the larger interest of the people”, Bhalla said.
