JAMMU, Apr 15: JKPCC working president Raman Bhalla, District Incharge Yogesh Sawhney, senior leaders Satish Sharma, Uday Bhanu Chib (PYC chief) today led an impressive Jai Bharat Satyagraha march in Bagh-e-Bahu locality here today.
Addressing Satyagraha programme, Bhalla said that the entire government machinery is working to save Adani, which is also playing with the country’s security. He said that freedom of expression is being curtailed. People are worried about inflation.
“They are unable to even feed their children with milk, the price of cooking gas has crossed Rs 1000, petrol and diesel have crossed Rs 100, the poor villagers are not getting flour and oil. But the Modi Government of the country is not worried about it. Together we will take this struggle forward and win. We need your support to fight a war of freedom and uproot the Government that saved the country’s property. Satyagraha is needed to save democracy, because the Government sitting at the Centre is bent on weakening democracy,” he said.
Bhalla reminded the BJP of the massive 2014 Jammu mandate for development and welfare and said that instead of doing a little bit in this regard they pushed the entire region to the wall. The developmental machinery came to a grinding halt and the utility services suffered major jolt due to the self-centred approach of the BJP leaders.”BJP has not understood the idea of Jammu and Kashmir”, Bhalla said while decrying the dubious tactics being employed to hoodwink public opinion. He referred to the bogies being created by the party and said this has neither worked in the past nor will create any magic for BJP in future. He said the upcoming polls will send a terse message to the BJP for pursuing the politics of deceit and hate that has caused enormous damage to the secular fabric of this land of Sufis and Saints.
Yogesh Sawhney castigated BJP for indulging in rhetoric and playing unethical politics by scheming against the overall interests of people. He hoped the people have not forgotten the BJP duplicity while expressing confidence that they will put their decisive decision on the day of reckoning. This was discernible by the mood prevailing during the District Development Council polls, he said, adding that this will set a tone for the entire electoral process.
The program was organized by Block-9 and Block-11, Block presidents Pardeep Bhalla and Jatinder Singh Chib.
