BISHNAH, May 28: Senior Congress leader, Mohinder Bhardwaj has lambasted the BJP-led Government at the Centre and its coalition dispensation in Jammu and Kashmir for totally disregarding the needs of the people of Jammu region and in particular Jammu district.
Addressing a public meeting to kick start Congress membership drive here today, Bhardwaj said that the BJP has a lot to explain to people of Jammu for not fulfilling even a single promise which the saffron party had done during Lok Sabha and subsequently in Assembly election campaigns.
Regarding successful bandh of Jammu people to protest against the anti-Jammu polices of the Centre and the State Governments, he warned that the situation could go out of hand if the aspirations of the people are not met.
Bhardwaj expressed anguish that the people living in border areas have been totally ignored by the State Government after they were rendered homeless and suffered huge losses due to unprovoked Pakistan firing.
The Congress leader also lambasted the State Government and the local administration for totally neglecting Bishnah and adjoining areas in the matter of development. He warned that the Government must wake up and take remedial measures or else people under the banner of the Congress will be forced to take to the streets.
JKPCC General Secretary and former Minister, Dr Manohar Lal said that the BJP with Governments at the Centre and in unholy alliance with the PDP in the State has let down the people of Jammu. The people of the region reposed full faith in the party by giving them 25 Assembly seats and the subsequent results are for everyone to see.
Former Minister Yogesh Sawhney said that the Congress is a pro-farmer party and the policies of the Congress are always made to directly benefit the farmers. He further said that the BJP-PDP alliance has failed to address the problems of the Farmers of Jammu region.
JKPCC Organizing Secretaries, Ashok Dubey and Ashwani Puri also spoke on the occasion.
