JAMMU, Nov 24: Urging people to accomplish Mission 44 plus, senior Bhartiya Janta Party leader and noted former cricketer Navjot Singh Siddhu today campaigned for the party candidates in Udhampur, Chenani and Ramnagar Assembly constituencies.
He appealed people to cast their vote to BJP candidates in their respective constituencies for strengthen hands of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and also beginning a new era of development in Jammu and Kashmir.
Reiterating Modi’s remark of alleged consecutive looting by PDP and National Conference, Siddhu clubbed Congress in this nexus of plunderers. “Muftis and Abdullah have been plundering the State one by while Azad (Ghulam Nabi Azad) is in connivance with both of them,” he alleged in his typical style of satire and asked people to teach a lesson to the parties of the trio.
The BJP leader alleged that the successive State Government in Jammu and Kashmir for the last 18 years did nothing except promoting corruption and nepotism. “Whether it was NC-Congress or PDP-Congress Government, there was complete failure on developmental front while only lip service was provided to the people who have now decided to teach these parties a lesson and form a BJP Government for development of Jammu and Kashmir on Gujarat model,” he said.
Without naming Panthers Party, Siddhu also asked people not to vote for small regional parties since they can neither form Government in Centre nor the State and hence fail to effectively highlight the issues of people as well as addressing general grievances.
Holding the hand of Pawan Khajuria, BJP candidate from Udhampur Assembly constituency, who was accompanying Siddhu in the public meeting, the former MP and small screen star said that the former was sincerely taking up the issues of Udhampur people with the Centre and was therefore already acting as representative of the area. “I am confident that Mr Khajuria would get land compensation and other issues of Udhampur people solved from the Government,” he said and appealed people to make the BJP candidate successful.
At the same time, Navjot Singh Siddhu lashed out heavily on expelled BJP leader and independent candidate Pawan Gupta for his betrayal to the party, which had given him mandate for the two consecutive Assembly elections. “ Party is like our mother and a person who is not loyal to his mother, can never by faithful to other people,” he said.
