JAMMU, Aug 11: Bhartiya Janta Party has demanded action against those involved in various scams during the NC-Congress regime and other land grabbers to show that the administration is willing to walk the talk.
Reiterating that Art 370 was not a bridge but a wall that had to be demolished, BJP has also lambasted the status quo lobby for once again raising the bogey of Article 370 being the bridge between Delhi and Srinagar which kept the accession alive.
“The ill effects of Art 370 and its misuse by the mainstream Kashmiri politicians have been very eloquently exposed by none other than the Chief Secretary who minced no words while talking of rampant institutionalised corruption,” said Brig Anil Gupta, BJP spokesperson, in a statement issued here today.
Brig Gupta observed that reaction of the political parties was on expected lines but no amount of justification by them can absolve them of their indulgence and patronising corruption. “The alibi that the three decades of terrorism was responsible for lack of financial control is like adding salt to the wounds because the huge amount of funds that poured in for development and countering terrorism demanded greater fiscal prudence and tighter financial control stated Brig Gupta,” he added.
“Now that the administration has identified those who were responsible for the present mess, it is incumbent on it to take strictest possible action against them. While the net is being tightened on the small fish, many big fish who ruled the state are still roaming free and polluting the environment which administration desires to clean,” said the BJP spokesperson alleging that the disease was also rampant among the top echelons of administration.
Brig Gupta demanded immediate action against those involved in various scams during the NC-Congress regime of 2008-14, JKCA scam, Roshni Scam and other land grabbers to show that the administration is willing to walk the talk.
