JAMMU, Nov 1: Blaming BJP Govt for “making J&K poor in all sectors, JKPCC working president Raman Bhalla today said that if voted to power in J&K, his party would bring back the “golden era J&K witnessed during earlier Congress regimes”.
“The tenure of Congress Government was golden era in J&K’s history. Congress had managed to hold back the inflation during its entire term,” Bhalla said while interacting with Block presidents of Party.
Speaking on the occasion, Bhalla asked the party’s young workers to work hard for strengthening the organization in the Union Territory, promising a special role for them in the next Assembly polls. He stressed to mobilize public opinion to strengthen the party at the grass-root level as also to highlight the BJP Government’s wrong policies, especially in Jammu and Kashmir.
“The Congress will make the role of the youngsters more vibrant in order to nurture them for future challenges,” Bhalla said and added that over the last eight years, in the name of “achhe din” (good days), the BJP has misled the people of the country.
“Farmers are suffering instead of getting double income, the unemployment rate is growing like never before, the backbone of the common people is broken due to inflation and a skyrocketing rise in the prices of essential commodities,” the Congress leader said.
Bhalla accused BJP of playing with the sentiments of those who voted it to power.”People are not happy with its policies and the Government has proved to be a failure. We have taken to the streets against the governance deficit, the lack of development and the failure of the Government to deliver on the promises made to the people of Jammu and Kashmir,” Bhalla said.
He urged the members of the public to join the party in its fight against the BJP-led Centre’s “anti-people policies, misrule and mismanagement”.
He said the Congress will vigorously fight against the “wrong policies” of the government to ensure justice and relief to the common people. “To bring the people of J&K out of this uncertainty the Congress party wants to build a trust with the people so as to create a sense of hope and certainty for them,” he said.
Prominent among those present on the occasion include Ravinder Singh, Satish Sharma, Amrit Bali, Jatinder Singh Chib, Mandeep Singh, Pardeep Bhalla, S S Dutt and others.
