VIJAYPUR, Sept 16: Senior BJP leader and party’s candidate for Vijaypur Assembly constituency, Chander Parkash Ganga today asserted that the upcoming Assembly polls are a direct contest between nationalist forces committed to the unity and integrity of the nation and those who have consistently aligned with separatist agendas and disruptive policies.
Ganga today continued his election campaign in Sandhi-Simbli, Khara, Vijaypur and Bari Brahmana areas.
Interacting with the people, Ganga emphasized that the BJP, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has transformed Jammu and Kashmir by bringing development, stability and peace to the region.
He said that the National Conference’s promise of reinstating a separate flag for Jammu and Kashmir, a move that undermines India’s sovereignty and unity. The amalgam of opposition parties have been once again exposed themselves by allying with the Abdullah family’s National Conference in the upcoming Jammu and Kashmir elections.
He criticized this Alliance as another attempt by Congress to prioritize its thirst for power over the nation’s unity and security and said, “This Alliance raises serious concerns about the alliance stance on several key issues that could have long-term implications for Jammu and Kashmir and the entire nation.”
Ganga also called out alliance leadership on their position regarding the restoration of Articles 370 and 35A, which, if implemented, could push the region back into an era of unrest and terrorism and expressed concern over alliance willingness to engage in separatist-promoting dialogues with Pakistan, at the cost of addressing the aspirations of Kashmir’s youth.
He urged the people to reject the divisive politics of the Congress-NC alliance and instead support the BJP, which is committed to furthering the region’s progress within the framework of a united India.
Among others, who were present on the occasion included DDC Avtar Singh, Amit Dubey, Girdhari Lal, Ajay Sharma and Dheeraj Sharma.
