JAMMU, Apr 15: JKPCC working president and Congress candidate from Jammu, Raman Bhalla today claimed that priority of BJP regime was never to empower people by strengthening democratic institutions but those at the helm of affairs wanted to accomplish their nefarious designs by controlling such institutions through undemocratic means.
While addressing election meetings at Kolpur, Sunisar, Bajalta, several areas of North Constituency today Bhalla termed the promises made by BJP Government as “mere bluffs”. He said the people of J&K have been fed up with the sheer opportunism of BJP. He appealed people from different walks of life, particularly youth to become part of the party.
He said Congress by way of its pro-people policies is the only viable regional alternative for the people of J&K. He said BJP Government failed to do anything good for the people of J&K except strengthening the instrument of oppression to unleash terror on them.
Bhalla said that BJP’s unilateral decisions have added to the long prevailing political instability and alienation in the region besides violating the spirit of federalism in the country. The party rank and file in J&K, Bhalla said, stands behind the Party in its ongoing efforts for the protection of the identity of Jammu and Kashmir.
“We will not allow BJP and its B teams to erode our political and cultural identity. Nothing can rescue BJP and its local proxies. People will teach them a lesson in the elections. People across JK have made it a point to register as voters and punish BJP and its B teams democratically through ballot,” he added.
Bhalla said people of J&K will defeat the sinister objectives of BJP. Having failed to change the ground realities through biased delimitation, BJP and its B teams are trying to grab power through the back door, he added.
Bhalla claimed that BJP has lost ground miserably. He said Congress stands guarantee to the equitable development of all the regions, sub regions and the people. Hitting hard BJP and its leadership for cheating the people of Jammu, former Minister said that the BJP has lost the moral right to go to Jammu people after betrayal.
