MAJALTA, Apr 26: Describing the 12 month BJP-PDP rule in the state as a period of decadence, non development, non governance, filth and squalor, Harshdev Singh Chairman JKNPP and former Minister today ridiculed the tall slogans of ‘Achhe Din’, “Good Governance with development”, ‘corruption free govt.’, ‘Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas’ besides other signature slogans which were sold with a big splash by Union and State leaders during elections.
He said that Parliament and Assembly Elections in the state witnessed several central and J&K leaders giving glamorous and catchy slogans and thereby exploiting the gullibility of hoards of passionate voters only to cheat them after the elections. He said that the people of Jammu region who had discarded their respective political parties during elections to enthrone BJP to power were the most disappointed lot today in view of its leaders’ cowardice making one surrender after the other before its dominant partner.
He was addressing huge public meetings in Thalora, Majala, Kail, Paldair village of tehsil Majalta.
Expressing grave concern over the ever aggravating woes and sufferings of the people of Ramnagar constituency who were being deprived of the basic amenities including Power supply, Potable drinking water, ration supply etc, Mr. Harshdev cautioned the concerned officers to fall in line and to address the grievances of the aggrieved public before it was too late. He said that Ramnagar Constituency was the most neglected constituency literally and figuratively with no attention being paid by the concerned to address the miseries and tribulations of the public. He deplored the shabby plight of existing roads in various villages of tehsil Majalta which were crying for repairs and maintenance to their utter neglect by the concerned deptt. officials.
He regretted that not a single Km of road was pre-mixed or blacktopped in Ramnagar Constituency during the last 15 months and alleged siphoning off of the funds sanctioned for the purpose from Sept. 14 till date.
