JAMMU, Mar 6: Making a fervent appeal to vote & support BJP in the forthcoming general election, BJP State president Jugal Kishore Sharma, who is also party’s candidate for Jammu-Poonch Parliamentary Constituency, while addressing by a series of public meetings in Suchetgarh, R.S.Pura, Bishnah, Arnia, Salehar, Biaspur and Miran Sahib here today, said that the Congress is responsible for the plight of the refugees, farmers, poor and border people in Jammu province.
Sharma, alongwith his colleagues Sham Choudhary and Prof Gharu Ram, was on his day long tour of these areas to address public meetings in connection with forthcoming election, said that enough is enough and the time has come when Congress should be shown the door for its anti-people, anti-poor, anti-refugees and anti-farmers policies and bring in BJP to end the dark chapter in the lives of these sections. He said that today even after 65 years of independence, the refugees have not been granted citizenship rights, the farmers and border people are deprived of means of satisfactory communication network, healthcare & educational facilities. Border people still live under shadow of fear as Pakistan every now and then target them through infiltration and firing.
He said precious lives, crops and property is damaged but only hollow promises are made and no adequate compensation has ever been made. No effective steps have been taken to ensure safety and security of people. Farmers do not get timely water for irrigation, seeds, pesticides and compensations for their crops damaged by natural calamities and firing. The benefits of various welfare schemes meant for upliftment of weaker sections and women do not reach the genuinely deserving people. He declared that after coming to power, the BJP will give priority in mitigating the sufferings and meting the decades old demands of all these people.
