SAMBA, July 29: Former Minister and National Conference State secretary, Surjeet Singh Slathia, today slammed the BJP for pursuing polarizing politics and exploiting the sentiments of Jammuites by raising hollow slogans.
“The three years of the BJP partnered rule exposed the party, which pursued self-centric agenda and let down the people on every front”, Slathia said, while addressing a public meeting, at Village Smilpur, Bari Brahmana, in Vijaypur Assembly Constituency.

He said the BJP gave Jammu nothing except reactionary and hate politics which eventually took toll of governance. The damage done to Jammu psyche is immense and the BJP leadership will have to come clear on the compelling reasons for ignoring the interests of this region, especially the border dwellers.
Slathia said the BJP compromised with the interest of people and bartered the development of Jammu in a big way. He said the utility services had almost turned dysfunctional while the developmental tempo came to grinding halt.
“The power supply and drinking water had become quite erratic in the Jammu city, as elsewhere in the region, during the three years of misrule”, Slahtia said this is not something the people of Jammu region had never thought even in their wildest dreams. He said the failures of the BJP reminded the people of the enviable work done during the Governments under NC, which laid a strong edifice of infrastructural development.
Assuring the people of getting their problems redressed, Slathia said the developmental inertia of the BJP has shattered their faith in democratic polity. “The BJP will get a befitting reply during the ensuing elections for its misrule and denial of justice to the people of Jammu”, he added.
