JAMMU, Apr 6: Senior Congress leader and Minister for Housing, Culture and Sports Raman Bhalla today said that unlike Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Congress stands for unity and integrity of nation. He said that such communal forces by creating unnecessary hype were trying to woo voters but had nothing substantial to offer to the people.
It was because of visionary policies of Congress-National Conference (NC) coalition in Jammu and Kashmir that ample job opportunities were created. Massive industrialisation coupled with self help schemes and initiation of new mega projects all clubbed together generated ample job opportunities for the educated unemployed youth, he said.
Bhalla added that people are going to reject divisive forces in ensuing Parliamentary elections and that would unveil their nefarious designs. He said that the country needs a stable Government which only Congress can give.
He was addressing series of public meetings at Janipur, Gandhi Nagar, Chatta Pind, Symbal Camp, near General Bus Stand, various sectors of Nanak Nagar, Trikuta Nagar and Kunjwani where he sought votes for Congress. He said that liberal funding by Central Government also helped state progress by leaps and bounds. He asserted that Jammu and Kashmir was virtually doomed but Congress-National Conferenec (NC) alliance brought it out of the mess and created conducive atmosphere where development could take place.
He said that empowering Panchayats, creating new administrative units, setting up polytechnic colleges, developing mega infrastructure, connecting rural roads, developing cities at par with other cities of the nation because of projects like JNNURM, MNREGA, SSA and NRHM State witnessed massive progress and people in large numbers were benefitted.
He urged people to vote for party candidate from Jammu-Poonch Parliamentary constituency Madan Lal Sharma and send a credible representative into the highest decision making institution of the country.
He said certain communal forces were hell bent upon to destabilize country which Congress will never allow to happen. These forces which are inimical to peace and prosperity had always been talking of dividing the nation on regional and religious basis. In many areas peace was vitiated by narrow mindedness and divisive policies of BJP, due to which people stand divided but Congress is committed to unite people and not divide them.
