JAMMU, Feb 3: Terming Congress Party as a movement to establish a new system of justice, equality and ensure peace and development, former Minister and senior Congress leader Raman Bhalla today claimed that his party is genuine and credible voice of the people of Jammu and Kashmir through its convictions and visionary policies.
Addressing public gathering at Gangyal (Ward 56) of Gandhi Nagar constituency today, Bhalla said that it was matter of satisfaction that Congress has emerged as strong political force in the State as well as a credible voice of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. He maintained that Congress’s agenda of the peace and development was now again seen positively throughout the State.
Bhalla termed PDP-BJP coalition as a “complete failure”, saying the Government proved to be a policy and governance “nightmare” for the State. All self-marketed myths of both parties stood exposed as the PDP-BJP Government has turned out to be a complete failure that stood on an ever-mounting pyre of broken promises and U-turns. Both the parties in the past projected to believe that they were the only magical solution to all vexed political and economic problems that others had only tried to solve in right earnest. Today, these myths about them stand shattered, Bhalla added.
Not only have they broken every single political promise that they had made to garner votes, but their Government has also proven to be a policy and governance nightmare for the State. He alleged that BJP used emotive slogans to exploit the sentiments of the people and ‘ditched them at the first sight of power’.
Accusing the BJP of bartering away the pride and honour of people of Jammu region to satisfy its lust for power, he appealed Jammuites to oppose, expose and depose the BJP’s juggernaut for its sheer opportunism. Bhalla said that BJP miserably failed to rake up any of its issues or at least initiate any discussion in respect of them thus meekly and pusillanimously surrendering to the whims of its highly powerful and dominant partner.
Regretting the lame duck posturing of the BJP legislators virtually on all issues, Bhalla said that the people of Jammu region feel utterly cheated and betrayed for the failure of its legislators to represent and agitate their concerns.
