JAMMU, Apr 2: Ridiculing the claim of the Congress and the NC that their common candidates in Jammu province will win both the Lok sabha seats, leader of BJP Legislature Party in the Assembly, Ashok Khajuria today said that his party would win both the Lok Sabha seats in Jammu province and the lone Ladakh Lok Sabha seat hands down.
Talking to reporters here today he said “the people of Jammu province and Ladakh region are determined to decimate the pro-separatist Congress and NC and contribute to BJP PM candidate, Narendra Modi’s 272+ Congress-free India mission. The BJP will also perform reasonable well in the Kashmir Valley where the people are making common cause with Narendra Modi.
He said “the refugees from Pakistan-occupied-Jammu & Kashmir, the refugees from West Pakistan, the refugees of 1965 and 1971 and the border migrants are all chaffing and seething with anger. The youth of Jammu province is also seething with anger as they have no place in the scheme of things of the ruling Congress and the NC. The people of Jammu province as a whole are extremely angry because all the successive Kashmiri-dominated and Valley-centric Governments in the State have perpetrated injustices after injustices on them.”
He said that the Congress in 2002 had promised regional development board for Jammu, but it did nothing to honour its commitment made in its election manifesto. Again, in 2008, the Congress manifesto promised regional council for Jammu, but it did not fulfill its solemn commitment, he further said.
