BJP befooling people of J&K for its petty gains: PYC

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, June 15: Pradesh Youth Congress (PYC), J&K criticized BJP for befooling the people of Jammu and Kashmir for its petty gains.
“Since 2014, the BJP had virtually failed to handle the situation in J&K during its unholy coalition in the State. The worst ever mis-governance and misrule of PDP-BJP left the people of the State in lurch,” said Uday Chib, President JKPYC in a statement issued here.
Reminding BJP of its ‘Vision Document’ released during 2014 elections and also the statements of its Central and State leaders assuring end of politico-economic bias against Jammu region by holding delimitation of Assembly constituencies in J&K, Chib sought early action in the matter by bringing appropriate legislation in the upcoming session of Parliament.
Lamenting callous approach of BJP towards the major demand of Jammu region, Chib said that delimitation of constituencies which formed a part of BJP’s Agenda of Alliance (AoA) also deserved a priority consideration with early constitution of Delimitation Commission so as to make possible the accomplishment of the Delimitation exercise before holding Assembly elections in the State scheduled later this year.
“On one side BJP State Chief is saying we are in talks with Central Government regarding abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A and holding delimitation of Assembly constituencies in J&K and on the other side Governor is saying there are no talks going with Central Government regarding both the issues. It means BJP is making fool of Jammu people,” Chib said.
Chib charged BJP of raking up several such issues like delimitation, Article 370, 35-A, Issue of Rohingyas, Dogra Certificate, issue of citizenship rights to West Pakistan Refugees and reservation of seats for POK refugees just to gain the sympathy and votes of different sections of society by exploiting the emotions of people.
