JAMMU, Dec 19: Provincial president of J&K National Conference has strongly criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for its Bharat Vikas Sankalp Yatra, terming it as a big flop show.
He said the BJP is only launching such programmes to create false narratives and mislead the people by deviating their attention from the basic issues which it has miserably failed to address.
In a statement issued to media here today, the senior National Conference leader accused the BJP of coming up with new ideas with the sole motive of promoting the Saffron Party, least bothering about the common people. He said the leader of BJP are living in a fools’ paradise thinking that it will befool the people in the name of development (Vikas) but people fully realized that they committed a blunder by voting Saffron to power. They are waiting for the election to take place in 2024 when they will show the door to this party and its governance.
Gupta said that carrying out events in the name of development is an essential part of BJP’s crooked game plan to deceive the people in order to stay in power and Jammu and Kashmir bears testimony to this. He said the people of this Union Territory are the worst victim of BJP’s betrayal with people here left to fend for themselves even for the very basic amenities. It is an irony that all claims are being made regarding unprecedented development in Jammu and Kashmir but the ground situation speaks its Contrary, Gupta asserted.
While referring to ‘Bharat Vikas Sankalp Yatra’, he said that BJP has been conducting similar programmes like ‘Back to Village’, ‘My Town My Pride, etc earlier too but since these programmes failed to garner public support, it now shifted to yet another programme. But many public issues during such events remained unsolved.
Questioning BJP’s claims on development the senior NC leader asked why today there are unsafe school buildings, health centres without doctors, damaged roads and shortage of power, drinking water, unemployment, inflation and imposition of heavy taxes on the people of UT. He asserted that BJP has miserably failed to provide basic amenities to the common man.
While cautioning the people not to get influenced by the misleading statements and such flop events of BJP, Gupta sought their support to NC in the Assembly elections whenever these are held in J&K.
