JAMMU, Sept 8: Former minister and senior Congress leader Raman Bhalla today slammed BJP Govt for acting as a mute spectator to the sufferings of the people from Jammu and Kashmir. BJP’s tall claims of creating job and employment for the youths has turned mere hoax.
While interacting with aggrieved people of Bahu Fort, Kacha Tallab as a part of mass contact programme in Gandhi Nagar constituency today Bhalla said that country is witnessing all-time low economic growth and employment rate has dipped to an all-time low. He alleged that the Centre was not taking any effective step to improve the economic situation of the country. He said that all sections of society are facing difficulties.
The PCC leader said that the administration must come out of deep slumber and infuse responsiveness and an element of accountability in its machinery in order to mitigate the sufferings of people. He said that women folk are bearing maximum brunt of the anti-people policies being propagated by the NDA Government headed by Narendra Modi. He said except tall promises, nothing concrete has been done on the ground.
Bhalla maintained that BJP Govt has failed on all fronts. He said the authorities are not paying any attention to the burning problems of the common man. BJP today alleged that the UPA failed to fulfill the aspirations of “Aam Admi”(common man) despite the fact that they had come into power on slogan of protecting the interests of common man. All major sectors like manufacturing, trade, construction, education, health, information technology, transport, and accommodation and restaurant have failed to pickup under BJP rule. The BJP manifesto promised to ensure a peaceful and secure environment, where there is no place for either the perpetrators or exploiters of fear but nothing was done also in this regard also.
Seeking the restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir, Bhalla said the Congressmen are on the roads to convey the voice of the people to the President as the “undemocratic and unconstitutional” steps taken by the Centre left them “deeply hurt”. “People are scared to open their voice for their rights. This is the situation which has been thrust on them after this beautiful state was dismantled,” he said.
