‘FASTag’ reply to BJP from Gadkari on Toll Plaza: Bhalla

Excelsior Correspondent

JAMMU, Dec 15: Former minister and senior Congress leader Raman Bhalla today alleged that BJP Govt is playing with the sentiments of the people who voted them to power. People are not happy with their policies and the Government has proved to be a failure.
Despite people hitting streets against governance deficit, lack of development and failure of the Government to deliver on the promises made to the people of the Jammu and Kashmir, Govt has not moved even an inch proving callousness of this anti-people Govt. He said that peace and development have become biggest causality since this Government has taken over.
While interacting with people of Gangyal in Gandhi Nagar constituency, former minister slammed BJP for befooling people of Jammu over installation of Toll Plazas and maintained that people are fed up with BJP’s rhetoric and that Jammuites will teach them a befitting lesson in future elections.
He termed Raina’s letter to Gadkari as mere eye-wash and time-killing process, as they should have protested the same on roads, if they claim to be real champions of Jammu cause. FASTag has been made mandatory to pay the toll charges at the NH Toll Plazas across the country including those in J&K. User of the vehicle not fitted with FASTag entering into FASTag lane of the fee plazas shall pay an amount equivalent to two times of the fee applicable to that category of the vehicle.
Citing the public welfare initiatives of Congress party which is having a track record of satiating aspirations of all the sections of society, he asked the people of the State to overwhelmingly support his party in future elections to once again bring back ‘Achhe Din’ in real terms. The J&K will always stick to its legacy of inclusiveness, secularism and tolerance.
Bhalla said that Government is crippled due to policy paralysis as a result the situation has worsened on the ground and people are maximum sufferers in J&K. He said that agenda of BJP Govt is nothing but an eye wash for the people and said that BJP has taken Jammu for granted and has failed to recognize the developmental priorities and represent the aspirations of the people. He said that BJP has failed to represent the sentiments and deliver the promises it made to the electorate.
