JAMMU, Apr 5: Former minister and senior Congress leader, Raman Bhalla today claimed that BJP Govt’s failures were visible on all the fronts and uncertainty, chaos and confusion are the gifts of this Govt to the people of J&K.
While interacting with prominent persons of Ward-57, Green Avenue, Trikuta Nagar Extension today, Bhalla said that BJP Government has miserably failed on all fronts and has only given rise to a situation of uncertainty, chaos and confusion because the Govt lacks direction in the absence of pro-people agenda. He said that the youth of J&K are suffering due to the wrong policies of the BJP Government in J&K and at the Centre.
He cautioned the youth about the designs of communal and divisive forces in the J&K who are constantly on a lookout for opportunities to strike and create hatred. Bhalla said that Congress will continue to raise the issues of public concerned at all levels and fight for the cause of general public. He said that the developmental works started by Congress Govt has gone on grand halt and the people are suffering for want of power, health care road connectivity and ration.
Bhalla further said that people of J&K have witnessed a total failure of the Central Government on administrative, economic, foreign affairs and social fronts. Under their rule, people of J&K have faced an economic crisis, job losses, cycles of violence and a pandemic that now threatens to blow out of control. While the economy was struggling, the Modi Government dedicated itself to destroying the secular fabric of society. It blatantly attacked the very foundations of the Constitution and destroyed the federal structure of the country.
PCC leader alleged that Constitution was subverted when the State of Jammu and Kashmir was divided, taking the entire world by surprise. This move destroyed the State politically and economically. Adding to this crisis is the COVID-19 pandemic. While the pandemic itself is a massive challenge, its impact on the economy is going to be long-lasting. The rate of unemployment has crossed all previous records, which the Government has accepted.
Bhalla observed that another flagship programme of the BJP has been the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT). This programme was supposed to plug the gap in the water and sanitation delivery. The water networks both in slums and other areas were supposed to get a facelift under AMRUT. But it looks like more rhetoric and less real intent to deliver.
