JAMMU, Mar 30: Lambasting at Congress party and its leaders, BJP State general secretary, Dr Narinder Singh today said that the omissions and commissions of the previous Congress Governments in the State are well-known and people are fully aware of the same also.
In a statement issued here, today, Dr Narinder Singh, alleged that the Congress has prospered on the cost of the poor. He said that in the grab of Roshni Act, Congress snatched the rights of Pak occupied Jammu-Kashmir refugees who settled outside J&K thus changing the demography of the region. The Party is responsible for entire mess in J&K, he added.
Dr. Singh further said that the failure of the Congress party on the development front is a historical and well established fact. The condition of roads and other amenities were in shambles during the Congress rule in the State. “Facts and figures speak for themselves. The falsehood and rhetoric of Congress leaders can not befool the people”, he added.
Dr Singh castigated Congress leadership in the State for the militancy, poor governance and lack of development and corruption. “The Congress leaders are known for raising unauthorized constructions, encroachments and abetting land mafia. State leadership of Congress is desperate to make itself relevant but is feeling short of issues’’, added BJP general secretary.
Dr Singh said that the BJP has put the State on the path of the development. It created infrastructure in education sector and other sectors. Regularization of one lakh daily paid workers is testimony to this fact. Under the BJP-PDP Government Jammu and Kashmir became one of the fastest expanding State economies recording double digit growth of 11.61 per cent, per capita income rose by more than 14 per cent while the rise at the national level was only 6.8 per cent, said Dr Singh.
