JAMMU, Dec 3: Bharatiya Janata Party has refuted the opposition’s allegation of ‘playing to the galleries & resorting to rhetoric’ and instead accused the opposition of pedalling lies and motivated falsehood to mislead the people.
“Shocked by the public support to BJP despite their best efforts to malign the party, the opposition is now trying to emotionally exploit the people and label baseless charges against the BJP for having failed to look after the interests of Jammu region,” stated Brig Anil Gupta, BJP spokesperson, in a statement issued here.
Bursting the falsehood being perpetrated by the opposition, Brig Gupta listed the initiatives taken by Modi led BJP Government during the last six years for holistic fast track development of Jammu region under infrastructure sector as construction of Ring Road, Four- laning of Jammu-Poonch Highway, Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Expressway, Six-laning Jammu-Pathankot Highway, Four-laning Ramban-Banihal Highway, etc.
As regards medical education, he listed a number of achievements such as new Medical College at Udhampur, AIIMS Medical College from temporary campus at Kathua, five nursing colleges, B Sc Paramedical courses, PG courses at Dental College, 44 DNB vacancies for post-graduation, the enhancement of medical facilities in the form of Bone and Joint Hospital, 200 bedded maternity hospital, cancer institute, dialysis centre at each district hospital and MBBS seats increased from 400 to 985.
Gupta said the list of BJP’s achievements is endless but the development is invisible to the opposition leaders since they are wearing blinkers and refuse to see the all-round development and instead tell lies to the people. “BJP challenges the opposition to list out their achievements in the field of development of Jammu region during their 60-year rule as compared to our 6 years,” reiterated Brig Gupta.
The BJP veteran appealed the people to understand the hollowness of the opposition and not fall prey to their false propaganda which is motivated and bereft of facts.
