JAMMU, May 15: JKPCC working president and Congress contesting candidate from Jammu-Reasi Parliamentary constituency Raman Bhalla today predicted the BJP will not get past the 200-seat mark in the ensuing Parliamentary elections since there is a “very strong nation-wide sentiment” against the party and a significant chunk of people consider it a “threat to democracy”.
“I think there is a very strong sentiment against the BJP for multiple reasons. They are seen as a threat to democracy,” Bhalla said while interacting with prominent persons of Sanjay Nagar and Digiana today. Some party agents were also felicitated on this occasion.
Bhalla alleged that BJP’s `communal propaganda’ was also one of the several causes behind their declining popularity. “By and large, people do not like these things. They see it as an attempt to divide the nation on communal lines which will weaken the country. Therefore, I feel that the BJP is not going to make a comeback. If the opposition coalition forms the next government at the Centre, it would be the Congress which will be its face,” he claimed.
Cong leader further said the mood of the people, after four phases of election, and reports emerging from states going to polls in remaining three phases are indicate that INDIA bloc will form the next govt at the Centre with Rahul Gandhi most likely to become the Prime Minister.
Bhalla condemned Prime Minister Modi’s constant criticism of Nehru-Gandhi family. “After the death of former PM Rajiv Gandhi in 1991, the Nehru-Gandhi family did not hold any official position. But Modi keeps targeting Rahul and his family,” he said.
He said that 2024 election is to save the Constitution and asked why PM Modi has not taken action against those talking of changing the Constitution.”Four rounds of polling have been completed in the country. The INDIA bloc is in a very strong position. INDIA bloc is going to form the new government on June 4,” he said.
Prominent among those present on the occasion include Taranjeet Singh Tony, Dwarka Choudhary, Vijay Chib, Maggar Singh, Bhushan Reddi, Mohinder Singh, Vijendar Singh Deepu, Mohinder Singh, Bachan Singh, Surjeet Singh and Avtar Singh Kala.
