RAJOURI, Feb 13: BJP State general secretary and former MLC, Vibodh Gupta today lashed out at the politics of hate by PAGD.
Talking to reporters here, today he said that recent DDC elections with massive participation in all areas of UT are a great success of the vision and mission of Modi Government for a new and vibrant Jammu & Kashmir. He informed that during the election campaign he personally visited many remote corners of Kashmir and was overwhelmed by the response of people towards BJP and its nationalist policies and programmes. He said that the growing popularity of BJP in Valley has frustrated Gupkar Alliance.
Vibodh said, “It was the stand of BJP that PAGD will slowly be broken into pieces once elections are over as it has been formed on selfish grounds. This has happened now and today PAGD leaders and parties have already started parting ways from each other due to their own differences. Today PAGD has totally become irrelevant across Jammu & Kashmir as DDC polls emerged as farewell party for Gupkar Alliance by people”.
Vibodh maintained that the way in which people have rejected the politics of hate and terrorism by PAGD is a victory of nationalist forces and a victory for the people of Jammu and Kashmir. While referring to the plight of people in Jammu & Kashmir during the past 70 years, Vibodh said that parties mainly National Conference (NC), Congress and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are the parties which enjoyed power at the cost of lives and blood of common man on the streets of Kashmir. This he said is the only reason that during recent DDC elections PAGD has been pushed to the corner and has been shown the place which it deserves.
Vibodh said today people have once again re-imposed their complete faith on the BJP and the Modi Government and this is the main reason for massive participation of people in the democratic process without a single incidence of violence. While accusing the leaders of PAGD for their double standards, Vibodh advised these leaders that they must understand the fact that now the days to befool common masses with emotions are over
