JAMMU, May 26: JKPCC working president and Congress contesting candidate from Jammu-Reasi Parliamentary seat Raman Bhalla today said the BJP Government’s tenure is nearing its end, boldly predicting a shift in power dynamics on June 4, when the results of the ongoing Lok Sabha elections will be declared.
Bhalla lashed out at the BJP-led Centre, asking why there is no prosperity in the lives of people if the country’s economy is growing at a rapid pace. Attending a programme at RS Pura to facilitate booth agents from Badyal Brahamana, Bhalla accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of speaking lies and making hollow promises with the public only to capture power.
“Attacking BJP Government, he said 70 crore youth are unemployed in the country and unemployment is the highest in 45 years. He said 30 lakh posts are vacant in the Government sector under the Modi regime. BJP makes big claims that the economy is growing at a rapid pace. I want to ask if it is growing so fast then and if there is progress in the country then why there is no progress in people’s lives. Why did our children not get employment?,” Bhalla asked.
The JKPCC leader asked why inflation has gone up too much, if the country is progressing fast then why factories here are shutting down. He accused the BJP of not respecting the public at all. “They do not speak about your problems. They do not tell what they are doing to contain inflation and bring down unemployment,” he said, adding, it is only the Congress which speaks about the public.
Bhalla claimed that the BJP-led NDA will be voted out of power in the elections. “The BJP Government’s tenure is for a few days more, change will be ushered in on June 4,” he said. Claiming that the BJP-led NDA Government has “deprived and tormented” the people of the country during its rule, he said this election is to give a befitting reply to the Party.
