KHOUR, Dec 5: Former Deputy Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Tara Chand today lashed out at the BJP for yet again making false promises to people in its so-called vision document for DDC polls.
Addressing public gatherings in Pallanwala, Chak Malal, Naryana and Taroti today in favour of party candidate Suram Singh, Tara Chand said that so far BJP has only befooled people with false promises. Being the ruling party at the Centre and having secured heavy mandate in the elections from Jammu region, he blamed BJP for its total failure to address the genuine problems and concerns of the people. He said the Central Government and UT administration took several decisions against the wishes and aspirations of the general people, taking advantage of the situation, forcing people to protest.
Accusing the BJP of disregarding the aspirations of the people of J&K and ignoring the burning issues of masses in J&K, the former Deputy Chief Minister said that BJP had given wide publicity to public issues during 2019 elections with high hopes generated amongst various sections of society which eventually ended in smoke. He demanded that the Government should immediately announce the suspension of the three “anti-agriculture” laws. He claimed that the laws would pave way for the dismantling of the minimum support price system, leaving the farmers at the “mercy” of big corporate houses.
Tara Chand sought a white paper from the BJP on the development undertaken and jobs provided to the educated unemployed youth of Jammu region during the past over five years. “The people of Jammu are within their rights to have a report card from the BJP, which they cradled in power with massive 25 seats in the Legislative Assembly in 2014 on the promise of jobs, development and fulfillment of all the aspirations,” he added.
He said administration has failed to improve the Jourian-Khour-Pallanwala road which is languishing since years. He urged the people to vote for Congress candidates in the DDC polls.
He was accompanied by Suram Singh, Jagdish Raj Sharma, Prabhu Singh, Jagatter Singh, Romesh Verma, Harnaam Dass, Bharat Priya and other party leaders.
