Excelsior Correspondent

JAMMU, Jan 13: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) chief GA Mir claimed that the BJP Government in the midst of a collapsing economy “turning a disaster into an opportunity to fill its coffers.”
“Despite lower international prices, the Government has “broken all records of profiteering”, adding that every household was hurting due to the increased price of gas cylinders,” he said in function at Party headquarter, Shahidi Chowk in presence of JKPCC working president Raman Bhalla, general secretaries Yogesh Sawhney and Th. Manmohan Singh, DCC president Jammu Rural Hari Singh Chib, Uday Bhanu Chib, Gurdarshan Singh, Vijay Sharma, Karan Bhagat, Sahil Sharma, Suresh Dogra, Satish Sharma, Pawan Raina, Sanjeev Panda and many others.
He said that J&K has suffered the most during the BJP’s rule of seven years and the electorates would firmly teach the Party a lesson by power of their votes for the betrayal. He castigated the BJP for “hoodwinking public opinion” by generating euphoria over imaginary development in J&K.
“Lust for power could lead the BJP to compromise with the Jammu pride and dignity,” he added and accused the BJP of undermining the understanding and political sagacity of the people of Jammu. He dared the BJP to spell out just 10 initiatives for Jammu’s growth during the Party’s tenure in the Government.
Speaking on the occasion, Raman Bhalla said that BJP has betrayed the citizens of J&K people from the year 2014 on diverse fronts. People have been reeling under miseries.
Taking a dig at the BJP led Government, Bhalla said that the Government has failed to create jobs for the youth and instead of creating new jobs, BJP is on the wrong track and is damaging the present job scenario with its new recruitment and retirement laws.
Bhalla also accused the BJP of having played a negative role during its rule in J&K on varied issues including general governance, development, employment, security and policy matters. He said that the aspirations of the people of Jammu region had not only been disregarded but ruthlessly trampled upon by the party leadership.
He said that not only the J&K BJP leadership ignored Jammu but the Central Govt. too remained inclined towards self created motives with hardly any initiative taken for addressing the age old bias and prejudice against this region.
