JAMMU, Oct 11: Accusing the BJP of conspiring to break the opposition parties, Harsh Dev Singh, Chairman-JKNPP and former Minister today observed that the predators of saffron brigade were resorting to all kinds of nefarious moves to crush dissenting voices.
“Not only were the opposition leaders lured and seduced by the BJP with lucrative offers and promises of better political prospects on abandoning their respect political parties but coercive methods are also being used to make them fall in line. Those opposition leaders who refused to oblige BJP merely on material gains are bullied and browbeaten by using the coercive apparatus of the State. Threats, intimidations, assaults, allurements, detentions and persecutions are the most commonly used tools by the BJP to disintegrate the opposition parties. And the basic objective is not to allow any party to stand in opposition to BJP,” said Singh, while addressing a press conference in Jammu today.
Pointing towards the murky developments in the erstwhile State of J&K during the past few years, Singh said that BJP’s machiavellian politics started with the creation of a new political outfit under the name and style of ‘Apni Party’ by causing dissensions in NC, PDP and Congress. “Stage managed resignations of various opposition leaders in the past few years have created a lot of furor in political circles with BJP leaders acting from behind the curtains,” lamented Singh.
Describing the BJP’s handling of dissent and disquiet as repulsively bizarre, undemocratic and morally sinister, Singh appealed to NPP workers not to succumb before the machiavellian designs of the power hungry party. He said that he would stand with his people through thick and thin and continue to expose BJP for all its acts of subterfuge and political blasphemy even if he was left alone on the opposition turf.
Gagan Pratap Singh, Parshotam Parihar (State Secretaries-JKNPP); Surinder Chouhan (District President Jammu Rural) and Gurdeep Singh (Youth Secretary Jammu Rural) were also present in the press conference.
