JAMMU, Sept 12: Congress is the “only truly secular, democratic and progressive force” which can keep J&K on the path of peace, progress and harmony” while the “forces of hatred” would create a wedge in society and regions for vote bank politics.
This was stated by JKPCC working president Raman Bhalla while addressing impressive public gathering in Ward-7, Prem Nagar organized by Corporator Rittu Choudhary.
Speaking on the occasion, Bhalla said that in view of the emerging political scenario, Congress is fast emerging as the only choice of people because of its progressive policies, democratic and secular values being strengthened by the party. He said that Congress has emerged a vibrant force in J&K and the joining of more and more important leaders from political parties in Congress would ensure party’s win with thumping majority in forthcoming ULB elections.
Bhalla said the people of Jammu and Kashmir were expressing their “pain and anguish” against the BJP Government and its “anti-people” policies. He said Modi Government has utterly failed to bring the prices under control. The common man is suffering due to unprecedented prices of all essential commodities and unreasonable taxes. All sections of society are the worst sufferers under the BJP regime. Lakhs of educated youths are without jobs while the daily wagers, need-based, contractual and other temporary employees are protesting for regularization.
Reiterating that Congress has bigger responsibilities at national and international level, the former Minister today claimed that his Party was the only alternative before people of Jammu and Kashmir for getting their regional aspirations fulfilled. He said that Congress is the only option left before the people of Jammu and Kashmir. He said people have bitter experience of Double Engine Govt of BJP.
Yogesh alleged that BJP betrayed the massive mandate of the people of Jammu & by dividing and downgrading the Princely historical state of Jammu and Kashmir into 2 Unions Territories. He said the people of Jammu & Kashmir are feeling deceived by BJP’s uncalled for moves in J&K, the people of Jammu, especially Youth are feeling robbed of their jobs, land and BJP has pushed the people towards identity and culture crisis.
