JAMMU, Mar 9: Senior AICC leader and In-charge Jammu and Kashmir affairs of the party, Rajni Patil (MP) today said that people are fed up with BJP’s poor performance, opportunist and wrong policies, for which there is strong wave of change in Jammu, who look towards Congress as only viable alternative. She claimed that Congress would emerge as single largest party in Jammu and Kashmir in next elections.
Addressing a large Congress rally at Shakti Nagar, in Jammu West Assembly segment today, Patil said that BJP has vitiated the atmosphere of peace, harmony and progress and downgraded the historical State against the wishes of people. Only Congress can restore peace, harmony, progress especially the lost status and dignity of the J&K people.
She said that only Congress can rebuild the lost trust, the genuine aspirations of each section and regions and can do justice with all and ensure equitable development by creating harmony and peace and strengthening democracy.
The power hungry BJP’s divisive and opportunist politics have destroyed and vitiated the atmosphere of peace, harmony and progress and created unrest in the society, for which people will have to join the Congress struggle to restore things back on rails.
She advised the party leaders to recognize the hard work of grassroot workers who alone can take party achievements and programmes to the people and bring the party back to power to serve the masses.
She said that Congress is only political force in the country consistently playing role of healthy opposition to highlight the issues of each section and opposing anti-poor, anti-farmers and anti- people policies of BJP. She claimed that Congress would emerge as single largest party in next elections in J&K.
JKPCC president Ghulam Ahmed Mir raised the strong pitch on the issue of restoration of historical Dogra State of Jammu and Kashmir, which was snatched from people, “arbitrarily and undemocratically”. He said Congress forcefully demands restoration of statehood with land and job guarantee to the locals, without further delay, which was “unilaterally, arbitrary and undemocratically disbanded, divided and downgraded against the wishes of people”.
He said that BJP is not only against the philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi but also against the name of Gandhi right from Mahatma Gandhi to Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and the present leaders from Gandhi family. He said the delimitation exercise is biased and faulty and has caused more injustice to different areas.
AICC spokesperson, Alka Lamba flayed BJP for playing with the sentiments of people by downgrading the historical State and depriving people of democratic rights.
She said the people of Jammu and Kashmir would repay the BJP in the same coin whenever elections are held. BJP is delaying holding of elections for fear of loosing badly as it failed to come up to the expectations of people especially youth.
Raman Bhalla lashed out at BJP for the betrayal with the mandate of Jammu as they failed to do justice with the aspirations of people. On every front, Jammu has suffered under BJP regime at the Centre and under LG administration. BJP made lot of promises with different sections especially youth, SC, ST, OBCs, refugees, migrants, Paharis , traders and transporters but every section feels cheated from BJP.
Senior PCC leaders Mula Ram, Kanta Bhan, Haji Abdul Rashid, Yogesh Sawhney, Ravinder Sharma, Indu Pawar, Manmohan Singh, Rajnish Sharma, Hari Singh Chib, Shiv Kumar Sharma and others also spoke on the occasion.
