JAMMU, May 8: Former Minister and senior Congress leader Raman Bhalla today said that both BJP and PDP are at loggerheads but the lust for power binding them together.
Addressing gathering in Bahu Fort area of Jammu today Bhalla said the PDP-BJP Government had miserably failed to govern the State as a result of which entire Jammu and Kashmir was passing through a difficult phase.”The PDP-BJP combination is squarely responsible for the current alarming situation,” Bhalla said.
He made a fervent appeal to the people to maintain peace, saying the unity and tranquillity has been the biggest strength to foil the machinations of the failed coalition partners. He hoped that the people would fight all those trying to create a wedge between various segments of society. He blamed the PDP-BJP Coalition Government for the deteriorating situation in the State, saying that both the parties are doing politics over sensitive issues.
Addressing a well attended gathering at Bahu Fort area of Gandhi Nagar constituency here, Bhalla claimed that the coalition partners are deliberately creating hurdles in the peace and development of the State by doing politics over sensitive issues, but despite that they want to remain in power at the cost of overall interests and wishes of the people of State, he said.
Holding PDP-BJP ruling dispensation responsible for the current mess Bhalla said that there is a deep alienation among the people due to the wrong policies adopted by the coalition partners, both PDP and BJP have failed in all the three regions of the State. He described the unholy alliance as detrimental to peace and communal harmony in the State.
Expressing his anguish over the failure of official machinery to solve day-to-day problems of the people, former minister said that Government’s failure has been forcing the people to adopt agitational path.”The way people are being forced to come on streets against non-availability of basic amenities like drinking water, ration and power is an indication of the total failure of the PDP-BJP Government. Bhalla said more than three years period of PDP-BJP regime is marked with conflict and fissures.
Bhalla said the people will soon teach a lesson to BJP-PDP Govt for taking them far-granted. He said coming Panchayat and civic body elections will not only provide the Congress workers an opportunity to perform but also to the people to teach lesson to such parties.
