JAMMU, Jan 24: JKPCC working president Raman Bhalla today asserted that Congress has always taken a “leading role” in tackling the challenges posed before J&K.
While interacting with aggrieved people of Deep Nagar, Ward 55 in RS Pura area of Jammu South constituency, today Bhalla said the situation of J&K has become adverse due to the anti-people policies of the Union Government. Spiralling inflation, poverty, malnutrition, crime and challenges before the democratic values, Constitution and Constitutional institutions, can only be tackled by the Congress. For this, everybody has to play an active role.
Urging the Congress workers to understand the pain faced by the people, Bhalla said, “The history of the Congress has been to reduce the pain of every section of the country. This is our present as well as the future. Hence, our first priority is the country and the people. Stand with them, share their pain, and work hard to help them get rid of the pain.”
Bhalla said Congress continuously questioning the BJP Government on inflation, unemployment, increasing prices of petrol, diesel and cooking gas and also stage protests on these issues. The Government jobs are falling prey to nepotism and favouritism and the candidates selected for jobs are moving from pillar to post to get their appointment, he said.
Cong leader said that Congress always framed & implemented the pro poor and pro oppressed policies to ensure their upliftment since independence and referred to the protection of their rights to jobs in district cadre posts all over state in the last Government. He also referred to the plight of refugees and the poor farmers who were being uprooted by present dispensation and assured that Congress will fight for the poor and downtrodden.
“The BJP Government has no vision. It is cheating the youth and the unemployed persons, and doing injustice. Instead of answering questions, it speaks lies, and avoids accountability,” Bhalla said.
Prominent among those present on the occasion include former Chairman of Jammu Municipal Corporation Satish Sharma, Block president Sanjeev Katal, former Councilor Pritam Singh, District general secretary Sanjay Sharma, senior Congress leader Mohinder Pal Singh, District secretary Shilpa Chaudhary, Block Secretary Neenu Mehra and others.
