* Common man suffering most under BJP: Chib
Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Jan 12: Former minister and senior Congress leader Mula Ram and president District Congress Committee, Jammu Rural, Hari Singh Chib today said that the Bharatiya Janata Party’s claim of providing ‘pro-people’ governance stand exposed as the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Central Government has failed miserably to address the issues affecting the general public.
They castigated the BJP government, saying that the common man is going through the worst sufferings under the current dispensation, which has sold its soul to few businessmen, ignoring the agonies of the countrymen.
In a joint statement issued here today, Mula Ram and Chib said that the country is presently going through a state of crisis.
“The graph of the inflation is on a constant rise, the fuel prices have touched the sky, and tens of lakhs of the farmers across the country are protesting for the last two and a half months for repeal of three farm laws aiming to snatch their right over their own lands. The victims of these three issues are the common men, the countrymen who are the true sons of the soil,” said the former minister.
“The BJP claims that theirs is a government of the people, for the people. I ask them to explain how it could be a public friendly government when the common man is suffering from these issues for so long now,” he asked.
“If the policies of the Narendra Modi-led government were truly public friendly, then they would have brought the inflation under control and stopped the sky-rocket hike in the prices of fuel,” he said.
“Why are the farmers protesting on roads, in this biting cold for so long? At least 57 farmers have lost their lives in these protests. Who is responsible for their deaths,” Mula Ram said.
Chib lashed out at the Central Government saying that the BJP has been exposed for its false promises. He said when the food growers are sitting on roads, the daily need commodities are seeing an all-time high inflation and the fuel prices have touched the sky, how can the poor get benefits. The lies of the BJP have been exposed, Chib said.
