Excelsior Correspondent

JAMMU, July 7: JKPCC working president Raman Bhalla today lashed out at the BJP-led Centre, asking why there is no prosperity in the lives of people if the country’s economy is growing at a rapid pace.
This was stated by former Minister while addressing an impressive function here today, The programme was organized by district general secretary Bharat Bhushan Kundal and attended by former NSUI president Neeraj Kundan, JKPCC general secretary Shashi Sharma, Ajaib Singh Mottan, Ajay Lakhotra, Kapoor Chand Bhagat, Devraj Bhagat, Kuldeep Raj Bhagat, Jeet Raj and others.
Speaking on the occasion, Bhalla accused PM Modi of “speaking lies and making hollow promises with the public only to capture power. Attacking BJP Government, Bhalla claimed that 70 crore youth are unemployed in the country and unemployment is the highest in 45 years. He said 30 lakh posts are vacant in the Government sector under the Modi regime. BJP makes big claims that the economy is growing at a rapid pace.
Bhalla asked why inflation has gone up too much? If the country is progressing fast then why factories here are shutting down? Why the industry is being weakened by imposing GST? Progress is only being seen on TV and no progress is taking place in public lives.
He accused the BJP of not respecting the public at all. “They do not speak about your problems. They do not tell what they are doing to contain inflation and bring down unemployment,” he said. It is only the Congress which speaks about the public, he asserted. He said though BJP Government’s has managed another tenure, yet boldly predicting that this govt won’t last long.
Bhalla said that BJP has befooled the people with its hollow promises before the elections and now the people of Jammu and Kashmir have today realized that they have been totally betrayed by the party. He said that the people across the UT are being made to suffer in absence of basic amenities for no fault of theirs. He asserted that the Government has virtually broken the spine of common people due to its anti-people policies the results of which are easily visible to everyone.
