JAMMU, Dec 25: Senior Congress leader Raman Bhalla today assailed the BJP Government for utterly failing to deliver and said the Government has lost confidence of the people.
“The 2014 excitement, expectations and display is terribly missing with disregard growing among people due to policy paralysis of the Government,” Bhalla said addressing party workers at Bahu Fort Poonchi Mohalla in Gandhi Nagar Assembly Constituency.
He said that the people of Jammu are feeling let down and betrayed as their problems are accumulating with each passing day.
“For over six decades, the BJP had been exploiting the Jammu sentiment by crying hoarse over the so-called discrimination, deprivation and neglect but when it came to delivering, they just raised their hands,” he said, adding that not only the BJP pushed the region to backwardness but also put big obstacles in its development and progress.
Reacting to the repeated statements of Union Home Minister, Amit Shah that Statehood to J&K shall be restored, Bhalla said, under the garb of abrogation of Articles 370 & 35-A, BJP has disempowered the people of Jammu by down grading the status of J&K State to Union Territory.
