JAMMU, Jan 10: JKPCC working president Raman Bhalla accompanied by former minister Yogesh Sawhney, Corporator Dewarka Choudhary, OBC Vice Chairman Sandeep Dogra, Block presidents Pardeep Bhalla, Mandeep Singh today convened series of Block level meetings at Gandhi Nagar Block-9 and Nanak Nagar Block-10 with regard to preparations for forthcoming Bharat Jodo Yatra in J&K.
Speaking on the occasion Bhalla said that Bharat Jodo Yatra has managed to drill a hole in the wall of lies and hatred that face our country. It has let in a ray of hope among the people. The ruling BJP, which is battling anti-incumbency, is visibly shaken. It is not only the huge turnout that is giving the BJP sleepless nights, but Rahul’s new avatar as a leader who is both affable and assertive, and his instant connect with the common man.
Bhalla said the history of the Congress Party was “very much connected to Kashmir history” and all like-minded people who don’t believe in the “divisive politics of the BJP” would join the march in J&K. He said people of India are seeing the real face of Rahul Gandhi during the march which is meant to unite India against hate and divisive politics.
He said the Yatra spearheaded by Gandhi was gaining momentum with each passing day, indicating that the people of India want secular ethics intact within the country. The yatra is aimed to send a clear and loud message to divisive forces who caused massive damage to the country and its constitution, he added.
Yogesh Sawhney said that due to wrong policies of the BJP dispensation, the normal life in entire J&K is in jeopardy, especially as the government has lost will to govern. The lack of political direction has terribly impacted the administration that is seen wanting in every sector. He referred to the administrative breakdown, developmental paralysis and poor condition of utility services in most parts of Jammu.
He said government has lost its direction and its myopic vision has caused a developmental vacuum, which if not addressed push the people to wall. He expressed anguish over dilapidated road network and ill kempt utility services.
