Taking a dig at the BJP, Bhalla said that it is appreciable that the party (BJP) and its mother organisation (RSS) which had never given any respect to the national flag is now talking about ‘ Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign. He claimed that the plan of taking out Tiranga Yatra on 75 years of independence of the country by the Congress party prompted the BJP for the `Har Ghar Tiranga’ plan.
Launching a scathing attack on the Modi Government, Bhalla said that the unemployment and the prices have increased tremendously in the last eight years and now by imposing GST on food products the Government has broken the back of common man.
Yogesh Sawhney, JKPCC general secretary said that the Modi Government is engaged in vindictive politics but the Congress party would continue to raise the issues of people forcefully. The Congress party would not get bogged down by the repressive politics of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and continue to agitate against rising prices, unemployment, GST imposed on food products and the Agnipath scheme.
He appealed to the Congress leaders and workers residing in Jammu to participate in the ‘Tiranga Yatra’ starting from Bhore Camp tomorrow on August 9, 2022.
