JAMMU, Jan 10: Former minister and senior Congress leader Raman Bhalla today claimed that BJP government which has completed more than six years in power is among the poorest performing governments in the history of J&K.
He said that Government was all about destroying the dreams and cheating people of J&K. He said that in the last six years development has been zero and encouragement has been given to uncalled for controversial decisions. He said that BJP government is running on the basis of hoardings and advertisements.
Interacting with people in Bahu Fort area he said that BJP had boasted of providing world-class facilities to millions of tourists visiting the state and assertions of making Jammu an independent destination had remained just rhetoric. BJP had zealously announced a revamp of basic facilities at tourist destinations, which were the backbone of the state’s economy, there was need for massive state-sector investment to improve infrastructure to attract private players.Six major projects had not been completed depriving Jammu of lakhs of visitors to Vaishno Devi shrine and other pilgrim centres in the state.
Bhalla said that the government deserves zero marks out of hundred. He said that the money being used to organise the lavish function had it been spent on welfare of the poor and needy then many of their problems would have been solved but instead it was trying to hide its failures by putting up big hoardings and advertisements.
Former minister said that BJP Government is deliberately delaying the holding of early assembly elections and restoration of full statehood to J&K as people have send strong signal to the Central Government in the DDC elections. He said that BJP is avoiding holding of early assembly elections to give an elected government to people and restore the statehood, disbanded and downgraded to UT against the wishes of the people. BJP has destroyed the identity, status and rights of the people. People have given a strong signal to the Centre that people are annoyed with the BJP’s actions and failure of their leaders who were elected by the people with great expectations.
Bhalla claimed that people have realized that they were “misled, betrayed and backstabbed by BJP for the sake of coming into power”. On the collapse of administrative apparatus with regard to development and ensuring utility services, Bhalla said that while various projects are starving for funds, the payments under MGNREGA remain unpaid.
