CHENANI, Nov 13: Harsh Dev Singh, Chairman-JKNPP and former Minister, today said that biggest threat to Jammu was from opportunist leaders abandoning their respective parties and falling in the lap of ruling or Government sponsored parties.
“It is sad that the opposition leaders of Jammu region are abandoning their respective parties one by one and falling in the lap of either New Delhi based parties or Kashmir centric parties. These were the very leaders who would swear by the cause of Jammu accusing the BJP of having betrayed the sentiment of the Dogras for vested interests and fulfilment of their political ambitions,” he said while addressing public meetings in Kullasar, Naugalta, Satyalta and Dhandal in Chenani constituency during his two days tour of remote areas.
Urging upon the people to beware of such opportunist politicians, Mr Singh said that Jammu region has often been cheated by its own leaders. “While Jammu region continues to lose and suffer despite the incessant chest thumping of the saffron regime, the people of Dogra land need to give a serious thought for finding a viable alternative to the deceptive politics of power hungry politicians,’ he added.
Harsh Dev Singh further alleged that media was being exploited to create hype in favour of the new outfits and the new entrants in the BJP. “The defections as such are being glorified and glamorized. And then all efforts are made to justify such defections, floor crossings and change of loyalties. Such opportunism of the political leadership has been responsible for incarceration of Jammu and caused immense damage to the cause of this deprived region,” he said and stressed that it is high time therefore that Jammu recognizes the true face of these political opportunists behind their deceptive facades and supports those who have stood firm in the face of gravest of provocations and inspite of all odds, pulls and pressures.
