JAMMU, Nov 8: JKPCC working president Raman Bhalla today asked the Central Government when it would ensure a congenial atmosphere for elections to take place in Jammu and Kashmir and elect a Government of the people here.
He accused BJP leadership of callousness and said it cannot shun and run away from owning the responsibility of creating this mess and back-stabbing the people of Jammu and Kashmir. “The directionless, agenda-less and clueless policy of the Modi Government has left the people of Jammu and Kashmir in complete despair and this is a grave national concern.
“How does Prime Minister Modi propose to ensure peace and normalcy in Kashmir? What is the economic roadmap for inclusion and progress for the people of J&K?” Bhalla fired volley of questions during public interaction at Apna Vihar area of Jammu South Constituency.
Ridiculing loud speak of BJP, Bhalla asserted that Congress will emerge as single largest party in upcoming Assembly elections by maintaining edge in Jammu and Kashmir.”If some people want to take pleasure by day dreaming they are free to do so but ground situation is not going to change”, he said.
He, however, cautioned the people against vicious propaganda being spread by political parties with eye on votes and said their entire edifice stands on falsehood and populism. He took dig at these parties, especially for making tall claims on the numbers in the ensuing elections, saying their political relevance is a big question mark.
Bhalla said people will never forget replacing state subject laws, ignoring the historic reality that it was Maharaja Hari Singh who enacted this revolutionary legislation in 1927 to save the people of Jammu and Kashmir from dominance of elite and affluent sections of non-state subjects. He asked the people to remain vigilant against these elements who are hand in glove and working complimentary and supplementary to each other with the only objective of weakening Congress.
Block president Satish Sharma, Corporator Pritam Singh, Dr Vijay Sharma, Sarpanch Rajesh Sharma, Vijay Sharma, Kewal Saini, PS Jamwal and others also spoke on the occasion.
