JAMMU, Nov 8: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has lashed out at some individual based parties for hoodwinking the public opinion and misleading the people against the PDP -BJP coalition Government in the State.
“The individual parties having no representation in the Assembly are in the habit of making hue and cry on the prevailing situation and on non issues BJP State spokespersons, Prof Virender Gupta, Arun Gupta and Balbir Ram Rattan told reporters here, today.
They have been repeatedly demanding Governor rule in the State in order to remain in the news.
While reacting to the statements issued by opposition leaders, including Ghulam Nabi Azad and Farooq Abdullah, criticizing the PDP-BJP alliance government for the present turmoil in the Valley, the BJP State spokespersons said that the parties to which these leaders belong to, had miserably failed in discharging their duties towards the people of the State and in particular to those residing on the borders, while in power.
The BJP leaders also questioned the NC and Congress leaders’ role in the eruption of Pakistan sponsored terrorism and their policy of allowing free hand to separatist forces to create an explosive situation in the Valley, that turned out of control of the State Government led by their parties in 1990. After 1990, the situation in the Valley always remained tense and as a result, the unfortunate episode of 2008 and 2010 occurred, they added.
They said in 2008 it was Congress-PDP alliance Government and which was headed by Azad as Chief Minister, whereas in 2010, Congress was sharing power with National Conference with Omar as the Chief Minister.
Moreover the root cause of present crisis and terrorism in Kashmir lies in formation of alliance in 1987 by NC and Congress and PDP and BJP have nothing to do with it. But to hide its sins the Congress leadership is accusing the PDP-BJP coalition now, they added.
The spokespersons said that policies of Congress party at the Centre and the NC in the State blunders committed by Pt. Nehru and other Congress leaders are mainly responsible for promoting separatism in the Valley.
They expressed their surprise that veteran  leaders of Congress and NC, Ghulam Nabi Azad and Farooq Abdullah, blamed PDP-BJP alliance Government in the State for unrest in the Valley and also held Modi Government responsible for the explosive situation along the borders and ongoing unrest in the Valley but did not say anything regarding the role of separatists and Pakistan.
