JAMMU, May 22: BJP State president Jugal Kishore Sharma termed the four year rule of Congress-led UPA at the Centre as a black chapter in Indian history.
Addressing party activists at Kalakote today he said during the four years of UPA rule, the nation witnessed record breaking corruption, scams, scandals, weak kneed foreign policy and soft approach towards the anti-national elements.
He said during these years Pakistan and China indulged in intrusions and cease-fire violations. There was total insecurity and resentment among the masses against the mis-governance of Manmohan Singh Government. Similarly, the State of Jammu and Kashmir also witnessed Government’s soft approach towards anti-national elements and appeasement of separatists, he added.
He said that the State Chief Minister made repeated utterances challenging the accession, Armed Forces Special Powers Act and sought mercy for even convicted elements. He also took strong exception to the reports that the Government is harassing the poor people in the name of collecting electric tariff and alleged that even a family using single bulb is forced to pay Rs 300 to 400 per month.
He said that the BJP has been opposing the anti-people and anti-national policies of the UPA and State’s Coalition Government and will continue its crusade against the same. Vibodh Gupta said that the twin districts of Rajouri and Poonch have been continuously subjected to discrimination by the successive State Governments. He said that Kalakote coal mine is on the verge of closure and the Government is least bothered to ensure that it works properly as livelihood of a large number of families is dependent on it.
Yudhvir Sethi, Chander Mohan Gupta, Nowshera district President Dr Ashok Sharma Capt (retd) Ramesh Lal, Vinod Sharma, Bodh Raj, Sushil Sudan and others also spoke.
