REASI, Jan 17: Former Union Minister and senior AICC leader, I/C party affairs in J&K, Bharat Sinmgh Solanki today said that Congress Party was ready for the Lok Sabha elections.
Addressing a large party meeting at Reasi town today Solanki claimed that his party was fully prepared for the Parliamentary elections in the Jammu and Kashmir and in the entire country as well. He said there will be a total change on the political horizon of the country and the people are waiting for their reply to the ruling party.
The AICC leader said that with the blessings of Mata Vaishnodevi upon the people the change is imminent. He claimed that in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, under the flag of INDIA Alliance, not only will they will win all the five Lok Sabha seats of the state, but the only Lok Sabha seat of Ladakh will also fall in the Alliance’s kitty.
Referring to the country’s independence movement, Solanki said that BJP should tell what contribution it made in the independence of this country. While BJP did nothing on serious issues like inflation and unemployment during its ten-years tenure, the saffron party left no stone unturned in disturbing the communal harmony of the country.
Taking a jibe at GST, former Union Minister said that taxes are being collected from the public for everything from salt and sugar to petrol and diesel, but the tax money collected is going into the pockets of capitalists like Adani and Abani. The BJP only cares for big capitalist and not the poor, he added.
Party’s state president Vikar Rasool Wani lambasted the Modi government for giving gifts of unemployment and inflation to the people of J&K. He asked the gathering that before 2014, applications were invited for jobs in many departments, but in the last ten years, only a handful of people have been given in the name of employment.
Pointing to Prime Minister Modi’s promise of creating two crore jobs every year, Wani said that the Modi government should have distributed 20 crore jobs in the last ten years but in reality the country is suffering from unemployment. Jammu and Kashmir has become number one in terms of unemployment.
Citing various instances including AIIMS and Katra- Kashmir Railway Project, he claimed that all the major projects were started during the tenure of Congress only but now BJP is taking credit.
Party’s working president Raman Bhalla, former Deputy Chief Minister Tara Chand, Ravinder Sharma, Indu Pawar, Naresh Gupta, Rakesh Wazir, Bhupendra Singh and others also addressed the meeting.
