RAJOURI, July 13: In a scathing attack to National Conference (NC) leader, Omar Abdullah’s baseless assertions about the BJP’s declining influence, party’s J&K general secretary and former MLC, Vibodh Gupta said Abdullah is bereft of ground reality.
Gupta firmly asserted that it is the NC, not the BJP that has lost ground in the Union Territory of J&K.
Speaking at a gathering at Lurkote village in Rajouri, Vibodh claimed that Omar Abdullah’s politics is confined to Twitter and is far from reality. He urged him to reassess the ground reality and acknowledge that there is no significant support for the NC in the UT. On the contrary, Prime Minister, Narendra Modi’s influence is evident across the length and breadth of Jammu and Kashmir, with BJP flags flying high.
Pointing out the tainted history of the rigged Assembly elections of 1987, during which the entire State machinery orchestrated manoeuvres to ensure Farooq Abdullah’s return as Chief Minister and secure the defeat of Muslim United Front (MUF) candidates, Vibodh reminded him that the National Conference has no moral authority to lecture on democracy. He reiterated that selfish parties such as the NC and PDP have failed to bring the culprits responsible for the plight of Kashmiri Pandits to justice. He emphasized that it is only under the leadership of the Modi Government that justice has been delivered and the perpetrators of Kashmiri Pandits have been appropriately punished.
“JK youth will give a befitting reply to the leaders of NC-PDP for their role in pushing them towards terrorism and unleashing a devastating era of bloodshed in the UT. Fed up with the manipulative tactics employed by NC-PDP leaders, the youth of J&K have decided to rise above their divisive agendas and explore opportunities under Modi Government for a prosperous future”, said Vibodh.
BJP district general secretary, Ranjeet Tara applauded the Modi Government for its commendable efforts in promoting democratic decentralization in Jammu and Kashmir.
District vice-president, Sanjay Sharma emphasized that the bottom-up approach to governance by BJP has facilitated better decision-making, increased citizen participation, and accelerated socio-economic development in J&K.
District secretary, Shazia Tabasum expressed her belief that the Gujjar community is experiencing a sense of empowerment and security under the leadership of the Modi Government.
