BJP, PDP losing ground in Leh, Anantnag: Cong

Excelsior Correspondent

JAMMU, Apr 30: Congress Party today appealed the people of Ladakh to teach BJP a lesson for exploiting regional aspirations of the people of Ladakh and Jammu region for vote bank politics only but it betrayed and utterly failed to deliver on its commitments when in power.
Reacting strongly to the repeated lies and tall claims of BJP leaders about fulfilling the commitments, PCC chief spokesperson Ravinder Sharma blamed the BJP for its betrayal and failure to fulfil its election commitments to the people of Ladakh for grant of UT, like several other vital commitments with Jammu region. The betrayal, lies and neglect by the BJP leadership forced their party MP from Ladakh to resign, who exposed the real face of BJP for Ladakh region.
He said that it was Congress Party which always tried to uplift the hilly and difficult region and ensured the political and economic empowerment of Ladakh region, by devolution of adequate powers to the Hill Councils and their share in the Govt.
The people of Ladakh always responded to these efforts of Congress and mostly reposed faith in Congress Party. However the BJP made them to believe on false commitments but the people realized their politics of deceit, when their pressure led to the resignation of their MP which is best evidence of BJP’s utter failure and betrayal.
Sharma said that Congress always believed in the sharing of power and resources to fulfil the genuine needs and aspirations of the people of three regions and other backward pockets of the State. On the security front, the BJP Govt has reversed the situation back to the level of early 90s which is the biggest ever failure of Modi Govt.
On the security front, the nation is paying a heavy price for maintaining law and order at the cost of large number of precious lives but the situation continues to be very grim as large number of youth have been lured into the militant ranks in recent years. The nation is paying a very heavy price for maintaining the law and order at the cost of loosing hundreds of precious lives of our jawans but large number of youth have been joining militant ranks, which is a serious matter. The lowest ever polling and no polling in vast pockets is a cause of great concern and the indication of the prevailing situation in the Valley which is reflection on the BJP Govt. He claimed that BJP, PDP has been losing ground in Leh, Anantnag constituencies.
