KATHUA, Apr 9: While intensifying party campaign in Udhampur Parliamentary Constituency, former Minister and MP and Congress candidate from Udhampur-Kathua-Doda Lok Sabha seat, Ch Lal Singh today said that people of J&K are fed up of BJP and they want to get rid of this party.
Addressing large election rallies at Dhar Mahanpur, Nagrota and Jandrali in district Kathua today, two times former MP said that people of J&K are frustrated over the acts of BJP and they want to get rid of this party. They were waiting for their turn since long and now the time has come to punish this party for its misdeeds and the damage caused to this erstwhile historic Dogra State and the interests of the people of the region.
While hitting hard on the BJP leadership especially the party representatives, Congress leader asked BJP leaders to explain their achievements during last ten years. People all around are waiting for the day to get rid of the party and its leaders/ representatives. “The voice of the people is the voice of God, and they have to face the consequences,” the former MP asserted.
Lal Singh intensified his campaign today and tried to reach every inaccessible areas with the help of helicopter. The enthusiasm of the people was quite high and there was an unprecedented turn out of the people everywhere to have a glimpse of their leader. They always remained dependent upon the bureaucrats.
He pointed out that people have actually fed up with this attitude of the BJP leadership and have now made up their mind to teach them a lesson and give a befitting reply by voting against them. The youth is head on today as they got only lathicharge, police cases and blackmailing only during the present regime. Their right to protest was snatched and bureaucratic nexus with the present incumbents tortured the general public.
Now smart metering, property taxes, land scams by snatching the land from the poor and giving to the outside Industrialists on the peanut rates, are the issues which people have in their mind and now they have decided to teach BJP a lesson, Ch.Lal Singh said.
He made fervent appeal to the people to support Congress party for a change.
