DODA, Apr 14: Addressing a series of election meetings during an extensive tour of Jodhpur, Kastigarh, Bhagwa and surrounding areas in district Doda, BJP candidate for Udhampur-Kathua-Doda constituency, Dr Jitendra Singh said here, today that the area has been turned into a political tourist resort where politicians of different hues come to deliver platitudes on the eve of election only to forget later.
The Kastigarh belt has stood like a rock even in the worst years of militancy, said Dr Jitendra Singh and warned the separatist-friendly political parties like Congress and National Conference (NC) not to take the nationalists for granted.
People who swear by India have a right to lead a dignified life in India, said Dr Jitendra Singh and added, those who swear by Pakistan would no longer be allowed to browbeat and throw their weight around. He accused the coalition ruling parties in J&K of resorting to anti-India Jargon from time to time in a bid to consolidate secessionist vote bank.
Dr Jitendra Singh said, the Narendra Modi Government will do everything possible to boost the morale of peace loving patriots and take a departure from the appeasement policy followed by Congress and NC. It is ironic that the Congress-NC coalition is always worried about jobs and settlement of so called former militants while educated youth are either unemployed or employed for a meagre Rs 3000 per month, observed Dr Jitendra Singh. Appealing to people not to vote for the parties and leaders responsible for Kishtwar riots against minorities and for multi-crore scams like the Roshni scam and J&K Cricket Association scam, Dr Jitendra Singh said, a vote for “Kamal” (lotus flower) is indeed a vote for India.
Dr Jitendra Singh said, the Union Health Minister had made a farcical and impractical announcement about opening up of a new Medical College in Doda but failed to set up dispensaries in the rural areas of erstwhile Doda district. Even the district hospitals were devoid of adequate staff and equipment, he added.
