JAMMU, Jan 11: The dynast rulers like Abdullahs and Muftis have looted the people of Jammu and Kashmir for seven decades and their future in politics is now in dark, because of pro-people policies of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), said former Deputy Chief Minister, Kavinder Gupta here, today.
Referring to the interview of National Conference (NC) leader and former Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah that he is facing question of whether he should continue in politics or not, Kavinder said truth be told that what they have done to Jammu and Kashmir and its people in past 70 years?. “There is no future for the likes of Abdullahs and even Muftis in the politics of Jammu and Kashmir,” he added in a scathing attack on NC and People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
“In the past 70 years, the dynast rulers like Farooq and Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti have looted the Jammu and Kashmir. They misused the funds given by Centre for the development of Jammu and Kashmir to fill their own coffers. They did not pay attention to the public and their issues, and couldn’t achieve anything on the ground level in all these years,” Kavinder said in a statement.
“If Abdullah had worked for the people in past, questions about his future in politics would not have haunted him. Jammu and Kashmir had suffered because of Article 370, because of militancy, separatism and violence and also because of poverty, absence of development and because of corruption. With Article 370 gone there is no future for likes of Abdullahs and Muftis in Jammu and Kashmir,” Kavinder said.
“Ever since the abrogation of Article 370, the BJP’s work for every section of the society has been finally able to reach the people of Jammu and Kashmir. We brought the Triple Talaq law, we gave the voting rights to refugees, Valmikis and migrants who were devoid of it for 70 years, despite being the residents of Jammu and Kashmir. The Gujjars will now be benefitted under the new laws and every person in the Union Territory is now supported with Ayushman Bharat scheme, among tens of other policies,” he said.
“The BJP’s pro-people policies have been recognised by the public across Jammu and Kashmir and the likes of Abdullahs and Muftis must realise that the era of dynast rulers is now a history in the UT,” he added.
