KHOUR, Dec 12: While issuing appeal to the people not to get swayed by “false propaganda” of the BJP and exercise their franchise against the “divisive, wrong and anti-people policies” of the BJP, former Dy Chief Minister and senior Congress leader, Tara Chand assured that his party would continue to work for the well-being of the people, despite the “concocted and false propaganda” unleashed by the BJP against it.
Addressing meetings in Pargwal block in favour of DDC candidate Suram Singh today Tara Chand urged the people to reject the “politics of hate”. He stressed that the Congress is the “guarantee” for development, peace and growth of common masses.
In an apparent reference to the nullification of Article 370 and bifurcation of the erstwhile State into Union Territories last year, the Congress leader said the people of Jammu and Kashmir would never forget as to how BJP “victimized and punished” them under the garb of development, besides snatching their just rights in order to fulfill its agenda, based on “lies and deceit”.
Former Deputy Chief Minister said that the people of border areas are facing double hardships on account of unprovoked firing and ceasefire violations by Pakistan and the failure of the ruling dispensations to ameliorate their lot. He said “the near absence of civic amenities and above all the missing much promised bunkers to protect the villagers from Pakistan firing is a tell-tale story of official and ruling BJP’s apathy. He said majority of the villages still don’t have bunkers promised by the BJP Government. Even the existing bunkers, residents rue, are either filled with slush or are not usable.”
He flayed BJP for betraying the mandate of Jammu by raking up only frivolous issues instead of discussing failure in providing jobs, depriving the youth and businessmen of 4G mobile internet services for over a year, snatching land rights and statehood. Tara Chand said that the people of Jammu and Kashmir were fed up with the “bluffs and failures” of the BJP Government and are suffering on all counts.
He appealed people to heavily vote in favour of Congress candidates to expose BJP Government and protect the policies and programmes which were initiated by the Congress for the welfare of the pluralistic, poor and downtrodden sections of the society.
