JAMMU, Apr 24: The Congress Party today said that the Prime Minister Modi has disappointed the people of Jammu and Kashmir by not uttering a word about restoration of statehood and democracy by holding early Assembly elections in J&K.
Reacting to the PM’s speech at Palli in Samba today, JKPCC said that Prime Minister did not utter a word about the promise to restore statehood to Jammu and Kashmir.
Prime Minister also did not mention a word about possibility of holding early Assembly elections as it will complete four years in June since Jammu and Kashmir was put under Governor’s rule.
The Prime Minister was expected to address the aspirations of people of all sections, who are seeking restoration of full statehood and early restoration of democratically elected Government but it has proved that BJP does not bother about the people’s aspirations and hardships under the bureaucratic regime, not accountable to the people.
All people were surprised when the historic Dogra state was disbanded and downgraded unilaterally, in Aug 2019 without any reasoning but it was promised on the floor of parliament that it shall be restored soon as things improve. All people seek restoration of snatched statehood and early restoration of democracy but Modi government is least bothered about the people.
BJP is running a proxy government through LG’s administration and has developed vested interests, so delaying assembly elections on one pretext or the other. The BJP Government has remote controlled the draft report of Delimitation which is highly defective but the Commission is not listening. If the Delimitation is managed and manipulated, it amounts to rigging before the actual elections, said JKPCC chief spokesperson Ravinder Sharma.
PM had assured all party meeting in June last year that Delimitation Commission shall hear everyone, especially stake holders but the Commission has done eye-wash and presented a biased draft report, which is heavily defective needing complete review.
Referring to various developmental works initiated or completed, he said that it is welcome that government is pushing forward the developmental projects initiated by previous UPA and carrying forward the developmental process but lot more needed to be done.
