JAMMU, May 31: JKPCC working president and Congress contesting candidate from Jammu-Reasi Parliamentary seat Raman Bhalla today slammed BJP for putting Jammu’s interests and development subservient to the pleasure of personal vested agenda for remaining glued to power.
“Despite being in power at the Centre and in the JKUT through proxy, the party failed miserably on governance front and let down Jammu on all fronts”, he said, adding that the BJP has nothing to showcase as its achievement, least to fulfilling liberal promises during elections.
He was interacting with booth agents at Bhour Pind, Bhour Kullian Ward 73 organized by Pawan Bhagat secretary JKPCC.
Speaking on the occasion, Bhalla observed that heat-wave has triggered a severe water and power crisis in several areas of the Jammu division, but authorities have failed to set up control rooms and appoint Nodal Officers in each district to cater to public complaints. He regretted that over the past week, several places, particularly Jammu city, have faced major water and power shortages, leading to public protests, and the stopping of a Vande Bharat train at a Railway Station but nothing happened on ground.
Like other parts of the country, the increasing temperature has thrown normal life out of gear in Jammu also, and the poor water supply here has further added to the miseries of the people who are forced to purchase water from private tankers at exorbitant rates. He said water supply is not regular in almost entire of the Jammu city and its peripheries with certain areas getting water supply even after eight days and that too with a very low pressure and the supply even remaining for less than 30 minutes.
Referring to the issues confronting people of J&K, Bhalla said that being a representative of the people, he has been pursuing all those connected with development for giving push to the schemes and projects aimed at overall development and welfare of various areas and different segments of society. He said that the BJP led Government at the Centre has miserably failed to live up to the expectations of people of Jammu and Kashmir.
He stated that there is a strong resentment among people against the Government as the BJP leadership has failed to fulfill its promises that were made at the time of both Parliamentary and the Assembly elections.
