JAMMU, Apr 3: Charging the Congress-NC coalition leadership with unleashing a hate campaign against BJP Prime Minister candidate Narendra Modi, BJP candidate from Jammu-Poonch Parliamentary constituency & State President Jugal Kishore Sharma on Thursday said that it has no positive agenda for the people and the country and only trying to divert the people’s attention from the real issues facing the people.
Addressing elections meetings at Birpur,Meen Charaka, Datta Talab, Smailpur, Badori, Sangwal and Salmeri in the Vijaypur Assembly constituency, he said “the frustrated Congress and NC leaders are converting the pious democratic and electoral exercise into a debate between secularism and communalism.
Sharma said that it is strange that the Congress and the NC, instead of contesting election on democratic and economic issues, are only indulging in a negative campaigning to create bitterness between the communities and regions.
Accusing the Congress-NC coalition of according a step-motherly treatment to the people of Jammu province, he said even a cursory glance at the official statistics relating to 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th plan would be enough to draw a conclusion that while Kashmir has got more funds for developmental activities, Jammu province has got only crumbs. To make is point, he said that Srinagar district consisting of 272 villages and having a land area 2228 sq km got Rs. 21409.55 lakh rupees between 2002 and 2007, Jammu district consisting of 1193 villages and having a land area of 3097 sq km got only rupees 31109.31 lakh. This should expose the biased approached of the Congress towards Jammu, he said, and added that the people of Jammu province are totally fed-up with the NC-Congress Coalition Government in the State and the Congress-led UPA Government at the Centre.
Sharma said that the Modi wave is sweeping the country and the situation in Jammu province is no different and added that the people will ensure a massive win of the BJP candidates not only in this province but also in Ladakh as well as Kashmir.
Chander Prakash Ganga, Keshav Dutt, Tarseem Kumar, Gautam Singh, Sanjay Singh, Ravi Singh, Sushil Kumar, Tilak Raj, Tilak Raj Verma, Capt. Mohan Lal, Som Dutt Verma, Sushil Kumar, Basant Singh, Dr. Puran Chand and others accompanied Sharma.
Meanwhile, BJP in charge for Jammu- Poonch Lok Sabha seat Yudhvir Sethi addressed series of public meetings in Jammu East Constituency today along with other party leaders and appealed people to vote for Jugal Kishore Sharma on April 10 elections.
