Mandated leaders worked only for personal enrichment: Harshdev

Excelsior Correspondent
MAJALTA, Mar 27: Accusing the BJP of having failed to fulfill the promises made by it to its electorates during 2014 Assembly elections, JKNPP Chairman and former Minister, Harshdev Singh today said that coming elections would prove to be a waterloo for its fake and dishonest leaders.
He said that those who had abused the public trust would not only be made accountable and answerable but appropriately replied and responded by the public at the appropriate time.
“It’s not easy to deceive people. Today people remember each word spoken during elections, each action, each promise and each pledge. How hard we try, we can’t wipe the slate clean and erase the public memory with one new shot. You have to account for the U-turns that you took on your promises made during elections and on the strength of which you were voted to power”, said Harshdev Singh, while addressing public meetings at Shatral, Majalta in Ramnagar constituency, here today.
Alleging deprivation and neglect of rural and remote areas, farmers and youth in the saffron rule, Mr Singh said that grim political regression of BJP regime shall continue to haunt the people of Jammu region. “None spoke for the educated youth of Jammu region who were subjected to the most hostile discrimination in services during the BJP-PDP rule and thereafter. None of the mandated leaders could rake up the cause of daily rated and other casual and need based workers who were denied wages for years together. No MLA could raise his voice in Assembly against the anti Jammu stance taken by the Kashmir centric leadership on multifarious issues including Rasana episode, holiday of Maharaja Hari Singh’s birthday, surging unemployment and so on. And none had the guts to confront the Kashmir based MLA who raised pro Pak slogans inside the Assembly,” said Singh.
Urging the masses to overthrow the failed leadership, Mr Singh said that people had paid a very heavy price for voting these opportunist leaders who worked solely for their own loaves and fishes. He assured the public to revive the developmental tempo in full swing in Ramnagar constituency once such self centered and corrupt politicians were shown the doors.
Dozens of youth and female activists joined Panthers Party during the public meetings.
