RS PURA, Feb 13: National Conference leaders and former MLAs, Bimla Luthra and Gagan Bhagat lashed at BJP for abandoning people living along International Border in the Jammu region during its nightmarish rule in partnership with the PDP and alleged that the promises made during 2014 Parliamentary and Assembly elections proved just hoax.
Addressing party workers at village Kotali Mian Fatha in RS Pura, Luthra andf Bhagat said that the BJP did nothing for the people except generating passions on religious and regional lines. They said the promise of providing five marla plots to dwellers of vulnerable areas and reservation in jobs for border youth has turned out a big joke with the people.
They also criticized the BJP for dividing people, saying their hate politics has caused much damage to the state. They hoped that the people will isolate reactionary forces and strengthen the bonds of amity and brotherhood.
Both the NC leaders assailed the BJP’s total indifference towards residents of the forward areas and said callousness of its leaders is a classic example of the BJP’s duplicity and deception, which is reflected in alarming measure in the forward areas.
They hit out at the BJP saying hypocrisy of its leaders stand exposed, as they were liberal in making promises but raised hands when it came to delivering. They said that the border people were suffering due to lack of policy at the Centre in meeting the challenges on borders. The people have been living miserable life during the past four years, with nobody addressing their problems, they added.
They also referred to the local issues and urged the Governor’s Administration for ensuring power and drinking water services during the ongoing winter and maintaining adequate stocks of foodgrains at the sale outlets so that the rationees are not made to suffer.
