JAMMU, May 26: Accusing the BJP Govt of having completely failed in saving the nation from death and devastation, the NPP activists led by party chairman Harsh Dev Singh staged a silent protest at Jammu today to ventilate their deep sense of shock and anger over the deteriorating health scenario in the country.
The protestors carrying placards sought explanation from the Central BJP leadership for loss of precious lives due to corona pandemic as well as for raging inflation and growing unemployment in the country.
Addressing the media, Harsh Dev squarely held the Central BJP rule responsible for the catastrophe that had struck the nation. Not only had all pervasive corona terrified the nation but its fall out in the form of deadly diseases like black fungus, white fungus, yellow fungus, septic etc had made the situation worse confounded. The Govt had not only floundered in providing the much needed health infrastructure, essential drugs and vaccines etc to save the precious lives, but had miserably failed to control inflation which had reached a new high during BJP rule.
He said the fast spiralling prices of petrol, diesel, LPG, pulses, vegetables, cooking oil etc had multiplied the woes and sufferings of the marginalized sections. The poor workforce was rendered jobless and unemployment problem had assumed alarming proportions. The fast rising prices of essential commodities at such a crucial juncture had invariably shaken the faith of the common masses in the BJP Govt. The poor people and daily earners not only faced the threat of corona contagion but felt extremely insecure in the wake of starvation staring them in the face due to loss of livelihood.
Alleging that the present crisis in the country was the outcome of governance fiasco, Singh said that while other countries worked overnight for strengthening their respective health institutions and related infrastructure, setting up oxygen plants, new hospitals and augmentation of existing health facilities, the Modi Govt was busy is winning elections. He further started offering and exporting millions of doses of vaccines to other countries in January, 2021 declaring that it produced more than sufficient for its population to be protected.
Asserting that the BJP govt had failed on multiple fronts, Singh said that it had lost the right to rule especially in the wake of prevalent situation created due to massive avoidable deaths, growing unemployment and raging inflation.
