JAMMU, Sept 21: JKPCC working president Raman Bhalla today said that his party guarantees the rights of Jammu and Kashmir and will ensure it gets back the status of a full-fledged State.
Addressing election meetings in RS Pura, Miran Sahib, Sainik Colony and Greater Kailash today Bhalla said 7 guarantees promised by the Congress ahead of the Assembly elections, would give new energy to the youth by filling 1 lakh government jobs. He also highlighted the party’s promise of free treatment of Rs 25 lakh for every family and a super-specialty hospital in every district.
He said this will create a healthy society. Woman heads of families will get financial protection of Rs 3,000 every month. He also highlighted the promise of food security for every member of the family with 11 kg of grains. “We will provide additional financial support of Rs 4,000 for landless, tenant, and land-owning farming households per year and also arrange 99-year leases to landless farmers cultivating State land,” Bhalla said.
Cong leader said a Rs 2,500 crore fund will be set up for all district-level irrigation projects to ensure 100 per cent irrigation for farmers in Jammu and Kashmir. For the youth of Jammu and Kashmir, he promised an unemployment allowance of up to Rs 3,500 per month for one year to qualified youths. He said the recent Parliamentary elections have sent out a “very loud and clear” message that the premier role of Congress party in any political set-up cannot be wished away.
Bhalla said the elections have also “exposed” the Bharatiya Janata Party’s “fragility” with its “lowest winning margin”. “Such is the credibility deficit in the party that its leaders sought votes in the name of Prime Minister Narendra Modi as their individual performances have been dismal. They failed on all fronts in deliverance during the past 10 years. The development and employment generation received a huge dent.
The BJP also left the daily rated workers in the lurch and promises about packages proved a hoax,” he said.The JKPCC leader described the recent vote to Congress as support for its politics of inclusiveness. “The people have vehemently rejected the politics of divide, which they feel is detrimental to harmonious growth of a healthy society,” he said.
