JAMMU, May 23: Expressing concern over mounting problems of the people, former MLA and president of Pradesh Mahila Congress, Indu Pawar today said that BJP has betrayed people of Jammu region.
In a statement issued here today, Pawar pointed out that there was total chaos and confusion among people as BJP leadership has failed to remove peoples’ apprehensions. “On one hand there is complete uncertainty in the State, while on the other, people are confronting with failure of the administration to solve day today problems”, she said and pointed that most parts of the city were facing scarcity of potable water.
“It is very unfortunate that BJP leadership in J&K is indulged into communal politics by raking up emotive issues to divert peoples’ attention from mounting civic problems”, she said and asked the administration to immediately solve day today problems of the people.
She blamed BJP of betraying the people of Jammu on the issue of statehood and misleading the people on various emotive issues.
She said that BJP has betrayed the people of Jammu region again on the issue of statehood and reduced the state into a UT, thus depriving the people of all powers and identity. BJP has punished Jammu too for giving it huge mandate time and again.
Mahila Congress also expressed concern over unprecedented hike in the prices of essential commodities.
She regretted that instead of controlling prices of essential commodities BJP led NDA government at the Centre is hiking prices of all items. She especially mentioned hike in the prices of LPG cylinder.
