JAMMU, Oct 15: Accusing administration of playing in the hands of BJP, Apni Party General Secretary Vikram Malhotra today expressed concern over the situation in Jammu in which the Government schemes are being implemented selectively through the cadre of BJP in violation of rules.
“The administration is helping the BJP and its cadre to implement Central Government schemes in Jammu selectively in issuance of domicile certificates or Ayushman Bharat scheme in violation of set norms,” said Vikram Malhotra while chairing a meeting of party cadre here today.
Malhotra questioned the silence of the civil administration for their involvement in highly objectionable acts of facilitating a political party and ignoring other political parties.
“It shows how the administration provides unprecedented support to the BJP and this political party’s cadre collects Rs 50 per case in Ayushman Bharat Scheme. It is a glaring example of violation of all norms and implementation of Government schemes on the ground through the BJP cadre which is highly objectionable,” Malhotra added.
He said that they will approach Lt Governor Manoj Sinha and seek action against the administration for their selective approach. The Divisional Commissioner, Jammu should immediately act against the officials,” said Malhotra.
Malhotra said that the Congress Party, National Conference and PDP are silent spectators and it is only the Apni Party which is highlighting issues of public concern in Jammu.
“We will appeal to the Lt Governor Manoj Sinha and Divisional Commissioner, Jammu, Sanjeev Verma to personally intervene and direct administration at lower level not to act as ‘agents of BJP,” said Vikram Malhotra.
Meanwhile, Jagjeet Singh, Aman Raghuvanshi, Rahul Bhagat, Karan Dogra, Jay Thakur, Ashish, Deep Singh, Vikas Kumar, Rocky Kumar, Parvez, Abhay and Pawan, from Talab Tillo area of Jammu West and Amit Sharma, Jung Bhadhur, Sanjeev Kumar, Lok Nath, Pritam Lal, Shashi Paul and Anil joined the party from Jammu East Assembly Constituency’s Ward Number 15.
