KATHUA, Jan 16: JKPCC working president Raman Bhalla, senior leader Rajnish Sharma today convened series of Bharat Jodo preparatory meetings at Chakda, Hariachak, Khanpur, Lakhnote Nagri, Nanak Chak of Kathua district.
The meetings were organised by president DCC Kathua Pankaj Dogra. Prominent among those present on the occasion include Ex MLA Girdhari Lal Chalotra, Narinder Khajuria, Rakesh Sharma, Akaash Bharat, Sanjay Razdan, Raman Thappa, Parveen Sharma, KB Singh Jaswant Singh Kaka, Ravinder Paul Singh, Sat Paul Bhandari, besides DCC and BCC office bearers.
Bhalla speaking on the occasion said that yatra is a game changer, not for the Congress party, not for Rahul Gandhi but for the people of this country. For this is a yatra to decisively raise a bugle against the rampant unemployment in India. This is also a yatra against the massive price rise which has broken the back of common people. This is also a yatra to fight hate and division.” Govt is scared of of the response Bharat Jodo Yatra is getting. It has actually become a Jan Andolan, it’s a people’s movement. There are a lot of Congress people but it’s a people’s movement. People from all shades, people who used to criticise us, people who were bitterly opposed to us, they all have joined hands for the sake of the nation. And that’s why the BJP is running helter-skelter and is scared,” added Bhalla.
Bhalla further said that Yatra has attracted thousands across age groups, castes, religions and economic strata, has generated curiosity and hope in civil society and prompted some to shed their negative opinion about Rahul Gandhi.
Rajnish Sharma in his address appealed the people to reject “the pro-rich and anti-youth” BJP for peace and prosperity in the region. He slammed the BJP government for using public money for polishing their own image through massive advertisement. The fact is that the BJP Government has failed to deliver to the people on all fronts and would be wiped out of J&K whenever assembly elections take place here.
