RAMNAGAR, Jan 15;  Accusing the BJP of having failed and floundered in honouring its commitments with the people of Jammu region ever since its ascendance to power, JKNPP chairman and former minister Harshdev Singh said that the saffron party was thriving merely on empty rhetoric and false propaganda.
“It had proved to be a party of ‘Jumlas’ with a complete mismatch between its promises and delivery. The slogans of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas”, “Achhe Din”, “Brashtachar Mukt Samaj”, “Mehangai Par Ankush”, “Kala Dhan ki Wapsi” etc. which were used to lure the voters eventually turned out to be mere hollow at all. The BJP exploited the gullible voters during all elections held in the past without delivering anything on the ground,” NPP leader said while addressing public rally in Ramnagar town today.
Urging upon the people to recognize the real face of BJP, Harshdev said that it was coming out with new slogans during each elections only to conceal its past failures. He said that the innocence of poor hapless people was once again exploited during the recent DDC elections when several Central BJP leaders indulged in boisterous extravaganza promising moon to the people. Not only that, they made tall promises of early restoration of statehood, immediate Assembly elections, restoration of 4G, review of Toll Plazas, early delimitation with enhanced share of Assembly seats of Jammu and so on, Singh said.
He lamented that the people fell prey to such declamatory and bombastic talks of the ‘Jumle Baaz’ leaders who only specialized in emotional mobilization and showmanship. He urged upon the people to wake up to the falsehood of BJP which has been tailoring its slogans with the sole aim of capturing power.
Training guns at BJP, Harshdev said that it had cheated the people in the past four elections of Assembly, Parliament and DDC through its false narrative. Not only that, it had exploited the religious sentiments of the people to garner support for its candidates, alleged Singh adding that such kind of divisive politics was not in tune with our pluralistic ethos.
