NAGROTA, (Jammu) Jan 1: J&K Pradesh Congress Committee chief spokesperson, Ravinder Sharma has asked the ruling BJP to learn from Congress how to better serve the national interests, for which the BJP has to shun its lust for power and rise above petty party interests to allow the democracy to flourish in real sense, like the congress created history in 1975 in Jammu and Kashmir.
Addressing a large gathering of party workers at Nagrota today, organised by senior Congress leader and former MLA Th. Shivdev Singh, Sharma asked BJP to rise above petty party interests and come out of its lust for power to allow the democracy to flourish in real sense in Jammu and Kashmir to better serve the national interests.
Lambasting BJP for its use of power to bully the entire opposition and deprive them of level playing field, by all unethical means, he asked the ruling party to learn from Congress as to how Indira Gandhi offered power to the NC leader Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah in 1975 to serve the broader national interests, although Congress had a two third majority.
The Congress always sacrificed power in the larger interests of nation, whereas, the BJP which has brute majority and ruling in several states, leaves no chance to bully and break the entire opposition in the country as well as in Jammu and Kashmir, to first serve its party interests by all means .They don’t spare their old allies too, like it did to PDP and that is why a BJP ally, till a couple of months back, from Punjab, has named BJP as” Tukde-Tukde gang.”
Senior leader and former MLA Shiv Dev Singh in his address expressed gratitude to the party workers for keeping the party flag high in the area despite the lack of chance of representation for long time. He said Congress is guarantee to protect and preserve the secular ethos and stand guard against the nefarious designs of the communal and divisive forces. The party is committed to the raise the voice of poor people and the youth who are the worst sufferers of the policies of the BJP government.
He referred to the massive development carried out by the UPA Government and large scale infrastructure and road connectivity funded by the Congress Govt in Jammu and Kashmir but BJP is indulging in false propaganda .
Several Sarpanchs, Panchs besides block presidents and other prominent people including Manjit Singh Bedi, BCC presidents Romail Singh, Vijay Sharma, Babu Khan, Balbir Singh, Sarpanchs Balwan Singh spoke on the occasion.
