JAMMU, Nov 29: JKPCC working president Raman Bhalla today said that people of Jammu and Kashmir are the worst hit due to the “wrong policies” of BJP Govt and accused them of “snatching” their rights over land and jobs and “downgrading” a full-fledged state to a Union Territory.
He was interacting with aggrieved people of villages Laliyal and Mandal in RS Pura Jammu South constituency. He asked party workers to get ready to defeat the “anti-people, anti-youth, anti-students, anti-farmers” regime in the upcoming polls. He also complimented the people of the Jammu region for believing in togetherness and religious harmony despite grave provocations by vested interests.
The Congress leader alleged that the wrong policies of the Narendra Modi-led <Government have “ruined” the country, especially Jammu and Kashmir. He   called upon the party functionaries to maintain close rapport with the public and highlight the “various failures” of the BJP government. He asked the local leadership of districts, blocks, wards and observers to get ready for polls.
Without taking any name, he said parties exploiting the sentiments of the people on various emotional issues for vote bank politics need to be isolated.”They have utterly failed to deliver on their commitments, causing unrest in different regions and sections of the society. The people must identify such political parties and reject them for being their worst enemies and responsible for the mistrust and unrest amongst the people,” he said.
Bhalla asked the people of the Jammu region to join hands and defeat the “nefarious designs of communal, divisive and separatist forces”.
PCC leader said   property tax, toll plazas, smart electricity meters and unemployment have added to the misery of people of Jammu and Kashmir. He highlighted honorarium rates, delayed payments, lack of incentives for services in Covid-19 and inadequate facilities to Anganwadi Workers and Helpers. He emphasized the need for timely payments to meet their essential needs without undue financial strain.
Bhalla said that Congress has launched campaign to apprise the people of the kind of hatred which is seen in society and the prevailing situation in J&K. He said anti-people policies of the BJP government at the Centre and in J&K being highlighted by organising ‘Chaupal’ and ‘Sabha’ in the villages.
