NOWSHERA, Sept 3: Former MLC and chief spokesperson JKPCC, Ravinder Sharma has said that tall claims of BJP leaders don’t match ground realities and questioned where is ‘Ram Rajya’ as people face great hardships due to lack of basic facilities like drinking water, power, health and education facilities in the areas represented by them.
Responding to the charges of Government apathy to the acute problem of the worst shortage of drinking water by the inhabitants of Lamberi area, in Nowshera, due to the malfunctioning non- functioning of the filtration plant, former MLC said that BJP leaders claim a ‘Ram Rajya’ like situation in the country, but people are at the mercy of God.

President Block Congress Committee Chander Bakshi besides Sarpanch Kishori Dutt Sudan, general secretary DCC, Naib Sarpanch Suraj Parkash and several others put forth the hardships faced by the people on various fronts and the failure of the BJP on various fronts including rising unemployment, price hike , issue of regularisation of daily wagers and unfair land norms.
Former MLC regretted that people are suffering due to lack of drinking water.The development works initiated by previous Government including water supply schemes, health facilities have been neglected or pace of work is very slow but BJP leaders claim massive development in the country especially, in J&K.
Ex-MLC said that the two major hospitals in Sunderbani and Nowshera at the cost of over Rs 18 crores each initiated during his tenure in previous Government could not be completed in more than seven years, leaving people to suffer while 700 students suffer due to delay in the construction of building of GDC Sunderbani, for more than 8 years.
The BJP leaders quote figures and claim development in air but the ground realities are quite different in the areas represented by them. He referred to large scale unemployment and said BJP has betrayed the educated youth, the daily wagers,farmers and poor people. Moreover, unprecedented price hike has broken the back bone of poor and common people.
