JAMMU, July 6: Senior Congress leader and DDC Suchetgarh member, Taranjit Singh Tony today lashed out at the BJP-led government at the Centre for “betraying the people’s mandate of the Jammu region over the last 10 years.
He said that despite making tall claims, the BJP has failed miserably to address even the basic issues of common people.
Tony was addressing during an event, organized by the party during which several prominent community leaders, including Laxman Pradhan of the Boria Biradari and Vimal Dass, Pradhan of Juggi Mohalla from Qasim Nagar, along with their scores of supporters, joined the Congress Party.
Welcoming them into the party fold, Tony said that the growing support for Congress is a clear indication that people are fed up with the BJP’s misrule and hollow promises.
“Inflation is at an all-time high, youth are battling record unemployment, farmers are neglected and the border dwellers still await permanent rehabilitation and safe shelters. BJP has used emotional slogans to grab votes but abandoned the public after elections,” he said.
“The developmental slogans of BJP have turned out to be mere jumlas, as no major employment package, industrial investment, or farmer relief scheme has reached the ground in J&K,” he said and also criticized the BJP for “destroying democratic institutions”.
Tony appealed to the people of Jammu and Kashmir to support and strengthen the Congress Party, which, he said, has always stood by the aspirations of the people and worked for inclusive growth, secularism, and safeguarding the democratic ethos of the nation.
