RAMNAGAR, Apr 6: Former Minister and NPP chairman Harsh Dev Singh today said that having virtually enticed the gullible masses by their seductive slogans during Parliamentary and Assembly elections, and having secured their votes through false narrative, the BJP leaders stood fully exposed within a short period of three -year rule.
Addressing public meeting in Ramnagar today, Harsh Dev said that all the tall talk of good governance, corruption free system, “Sabka Sath Sabka Vikas, “Achhe Din” besides other captivating slogans of `over weight’ BJP leaders had proved a hoax with people seething with anger against the gross betrayals of these self proclaimed champions of people. Not only had the BJP abandoned its age old philosophy but taken a complete U-turn on all their professed promises after getting cradled in the cozy cushions of power, Harsh Dev remarked.
Referring to the directive of Governor seeking time bound compliance report from the administration with regard to 2008 Agreement between Amar Nath Sangarsh Samiti and Govt, Harsh Dev Singh lauded the indulgence of the constitutional head of the state in view of brewing public anger. He regretted that while the incumbent Govt had withdrawn cases against 9700 stone pelters, who were earlier described as Pak agents by BJP while in opposition, the FIRs lodged against nationalists of Jammu during Amar Nath Ji land row continued to be pursued in courts by saffron flavoured Govt. He said that it was extremely disgraceful for the BJP that the Governor had to intervene to withdraw the FIRs lodged during Amar Nath Ji laid land row despite it running the Govt in the State and the Centre.
Accusing the BJP Ministers and MLAs of having succumbed to the dictates of their Kashmir based masters, Singh said that they had lost the moral right to continue in office. Having surrendered over the issues of CBI probe in Asifa Bano case, District status to Nowshera, eviction of Rohingyas and Bangladeshis, withdrawal of minutes of meeting regarding settlement of nomads, holiday on Maharaja Hari Singh birthday, separate Townships for KPs, Sainik Colonies in Kashmir, Abolition of Lakhanpur Toll Plaza etc, they had completely lost the confidence of their electorates and penned down their own obituary.
Urging upon the people to strengthen NPP, Singh said that it had emerged as the most potent voice of Jammu and viable alternative to the saffron party.
