JAMMU, Apr 24: Lambasting the BJP for its failures to protect and safeguard the interests of people of Jammu region during the last 15 months, Chairman of NPP and former Minister Harshdev Singh today reiterated the resolve of the Panthers Party to ensure social, political and economic justice to the people of this deprived region.
Addressing public meetings at Basantgarh, Dudu, Majouri and Kulwanta in Ramnagar area, Mr Singh said that BJP which got overwhelming mandate from Jammu region on the slogan of demolishing the father-daughter Party (Baap-Beti Sarkar) and of giving a Jammu CM, fell flat before the PDP immediately after winning 25 seats from Jammu region with its juggernaut still celebrating the eleven Ministerial berths that it received from the PDP in return for having handed over the reins of Govt to Kashmir centric leadership.
Assailing BJP for thriving on the charity of PDP, Mr Singh said that the 15- months’ rule of BJP was a sordid tale of treachery and betrayals with none of elected representatives raking up the persistent deprivation of Jammu region. He said that even at the present juncture, PDP was dictating terms despite the ‘Agenda of Alliance’ weighing heavily in favour of Kashmir. He regretted that BJP leaders were still describing the Agenda of Alliance as sacred and visionary despite its total disregard for the concerns of Jammu region.
Accusing BJP of having sold its every single promise and its fundamentals for power, Harshdev said that the Saffron Party had proved that all its slogans were negotiable depending upon the price offered. He added that while the BJP was opposing and demonizing the well wishers of Afzal Guru in Delhi and elsewhere, its Govt in J&K was registering criminal cases against those raising National flags in NIT Srinagar besides ordering the removal of Army bunkers from Kashmir valley.
Harshdev said that NPP was the only regional party of Jammu region which had been fighting for the cause of the Dogras right since its inception both inside and outside the legislature. He said that Delhi and Kashmir based parties were not the solution to the discrimination doled out to the people of the region. He said that since the BJP had miserably failed to live up to the people’s expectations, the people of Jammu region were fast reposing faith in the Panthers Party.
