Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, June 3: The District Congress Committee Jammu (Urban) today held monthly meeting at the Congress office in Jammu to discuss important matters.
The meeting was presided over by JKPCC working president Raman Bhalla and organized by District Jammu Urban Incharge Yogesh Sawhney and District Jammu Rural president, Hari Singh Chib.
Bhalla and other senior leaders while speaking on the occasion sharply criticized the Central Government over the Coromandel train accident claiming nearly 288 precious lives so far and injuries to hundreds others while demanding the resignation of Railway Minister. The visuals are heart-wrenching and the Prime Minister bears a considerable amount of responsibility
The Modi Government boasts of the Vande Bharat trains and newly constructed railway stations, hastily inaugurating projects to bolster political support by misleading the public. They slammed BJP-led Central Government for neglecting the maintenance of trains and railway tracks.
Hitting hard the BJP and its state leadership for cheating the people of Jammu, Bhalla said that the BJP has lost the moral right to go to Jammu people after betrayal after betrayal. Former Minister took a dig at BJP leadership for celebrating nine years, nine deceits and a failed government in order to highlight the failures and performance of the Modi Government on various fronts, including economy, foreign policy, communal harmony, inflation, farmers’ income, national security, welfare for the Scheduled castes, Scheduled tribes, and other backward classes.
He alleged nine years of BJP rule has made the country miserable. The countrymen have only seen the scene of devastation in nine years. The BJP government has thrown the country into devastation. He said that “deteriorating economic condition and rising unemployment” have become the most pressing problems before the nation.
DCC leaders Yogesh Sawhney and Hari Singh Chib said that Jammu people are now realizing their mistake committed in 2014 and 2019 as these people who were sent by the voters to raise their voice remained unheard for nine long years. It is hoped that the people of Jammu will surely correct the past mistake and reject such opportunists and exploiters and show them their place in the future elections. It seems they have no time and commitment for the welfare of the people and country, and that electioneering, not governance is a priority for the NDA Government at the Centre.
They said if BJP has not been able to fulfill promises in nine years then what are they going to do now. “There is anger among people. BJP has played with the sentiments of the people who voted them to power. People are not happy with their policies and the government has proved to be a failure.
Prominent among those present on the occasion include Sewadal chief Vijay Sharma, Refugee Cell Chairman Amrit Bali, Satish Sharma, Pawan Dev Singh, Pardeep Bhalla, Varinder Manhas, Satpal Spolia, Sandeep Dogra, Vijay Malhotra, Parveen Singh and others.
