DODA, Jan 18: Senior AICC leader and Incharge J&K affairs of the party, Bharatsinh Solanki has said that BJP has vitiated the democratic atmosphere  and bulldozed most of the democratic institutions in the country.
Addressing a largely attended workers’ rally in Doda town today along with JKPCC chief Vikar Rasool Wani, AICC joint secretary Manoj Yadav, working president Raman Bhalla, AICC Coordinator Naresh Gupta (Ex- MLC) and others, Solanki lashed out at BJP for the “politics of vendetta, hatred and communal division” for vote bank politics.
Solanki, a former Union Railway Minister said that only Congress along with other like minded secular parties can retrieve the vitiated social, political and democratic atmosphere in the country and restore the atmosphere of peace, harmony, mutual co- existence and progress.
He told workers to reach out to the masses and brief the people about the diversionary politics of BJP in the name of religion in order to escape from the failures to check unprecedented price rise and record unemployment in the country, especially in Jammu and Kashmir.
AICC leader lauded the Congress workers commitment of fighting against BJP’s communal, divisive and repressive policies in Jammu & Kashmir and regretted that BJP has unilaterally snatched the status of statehood, rights to land and jobs besides being robbed of natural resources.
Solanki said Rahul Gandhi is the hope of youth of the country who is boldly leading a light in the darkness of the atmosphere of hatred and divisiveness and vendetta politics in the country, never witnessed before and asked people to support Congress.
PCC chief Vikar Rasool Wani said that BJP has punished the people of Jammu and Kashmir by depriving them of their rights and status and the democracy, as people of J&K are without their own Government for five & half years. He said the bureaucrats are not accountable and accessible to common people who have lost the right to represent and highlight their issues before any elected forum. Even old age and physically challenged are forced to protest for pension and unemployed are on roads.
BJP believes it will secure votes by the divisive and religious polarization politics and are not bothered about the genuine issues and hardships of people.  He said only Congress can counter and defeat the divisive tactics of BJP and continue to play the role of unifying force.
Working president Raman Bhalla and AICC Joint Secretary Manoj Yadav also spoke on the occasion.
On the occasion a prominent educationist Prof Pardeep Kumar joined Congress along with many supporters. Prominent among those who attended include DCC president Sheikh Mujeeb, Ex- MLA Ashok Dogra, Dina Nath Bhagat, Sham Lal Bhagat, Riyaz Sheikh DDC, Pyare Lal Shan, Asif Naqib, Akash Bharat besides others.
