JAMMU, Oct 22: Accusing administration of playing in the hands of BJP, Apni Party general secretary Vikram Malhotra today expressed concern over the situation in Jammu in which the Government schemes are being implemented selectively through the cadre of BJP in violation of rules.
“The administration is helping the BJP and its cadre to implement Central Government schemes in Jammu selectively particularly in issuance of domicile certificates or Aayushman Bharat Scheme in violation of set norms,” said Apni Party general secretary Vikram Malhotra.
Issuing a statement to the press, Malhotra questioned the silence of the civil administration for their involvement in highly objectionable acts of facilitating a political party and ignoring other political parties.
“It shows how the administration provides unprecedented support to the BJP and this political party’s cadre collects Rs 50 per case in Aayushman Bharat Scheme. It is a glaring example of violation of all norms, and implementation of Government schemes on the ground through the BJP cadre which is highly objectionable,” Malhotra said.
He said that they will approach Lt Governor Manoj Sinha and seek action against the administration for their selective approach. The Divisional Commissioner, Jammu should immediately act against the officials,” said Malhotra.
Vikram Malhotra, Apni Party’s General Secretary said that the growing anger among people is especially in absence of an elected Govt and there is no one to listen to their concerns. When people approach the administration, he alleged the officials do not work without direction from BJP. “This administration has become a puppet in the hands of BJP and they are pleasing their bosses by annoying the public,” he alleged.
Meanwhile, several people from Talab Tillo area of Jammu West and Ward Number 15 of Jammu East Assembly Constituency joined the party.
