JAMMU, May 13: Former minister and senior Congress leader Raman Bhalla today accused the PDP-BJP Government of creating controversies to serve its vested interests and divert the people’s attention from its alleged misrule.
Addressing a public meeting at Green Avenue Digiana in Gandhi Nagar constituency, Bhalla said the Coalition Government was becoming ineffective day by day. He said the discrimination against the Jammu region has become the order of the day. The PDP was making all decisions which suited it and the BJP was behaving like a mute spectator because of lust for power, he added
Coalition Govt was taking such decisions which would not only endanger the communal harmony but would also lead to a Valley-like situation in the Jammu region. “The coalition partners are deliberately creating hurdles in the peace and development of the State by doing politics on sensitive issues. The situation in the State, especially in the valley was deteriorating,” he said.
Bhalla said that the coalition has failed to create a peaceful atmosphere. Describing the Congress as the only secular force in the country, he said that Congress has always strengthened the secularism and it will continue to safeguard the secular fabric of the country.
Launching a scattering attack over the PDP-BJP coalition Government in the State for their total failure and terming the promises made by PDP-BJP Government as “mere bluffs, senior Congress leader said that the poll promises of BJP and PDP have proved to be mere bluffs and people are fed up with the policies and sheer opportunism of two parties. The people could not see through their tactical game plan and gave BJP an unprecedented strength in Jammu while PDP gained on these slogans in Kashmir.
“The PDP-BJP Government has lost the trust of the people, because of utter failure of the coalition to fulfill their tall claims during and after elections and their opportunist and contradictory stand on every important issue in the State
Congress always launched pro-people and development- oriented schemes in the country and the BJP-led NDA Government is only re-branding those schemes or changing nomenclature to take credit,” Bhalla said.
