JAMMU, July 1: Former Deputy Chief Minister and MLA Gandhi Nagar, Kavinder Gupta today accused the major political parties like Congress for trying to create a communal/regional divide across the State through their misleading and provocative statements.
He was speaking on the sidelines of a plantation drive organized by the Rotary Club Jammu and attended by the prominent citizens and Rotarians of the area.
Terming this plantation as a noble cause, he said that “we should all take pledge to plant trees not only for our self but to prevent our children from cursing us in future”.
The former DyCM stated that some of these politicians who are holding or have held some highest & important constitutional positions are now spitting venom and trying to create a wedge between regions and people through their cheap politics.
Quoting the recent statements made by the leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, Ghulam Nabi Azad and his senior party colleagues as demoralizing for the security forces, Gupta said, the only advice, “I can give them is to talk more sensibly and don’t barter national interest for mere political gains.
Commenting on the recent statement of the Nikki Haley, “the American Ambassador to the UN asserting the Washington and New Delhi to become global leaders in the fight against terrorism” he said that such statements speak volumes in itself and show how the nation has progressed in the last four years and gained the respect globally under the dynamic leadership of the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi.
Gupta also took PCC chief and other State leaders of Congress as well as NC to task for spreading misinformation campaign against BJP due to desperation of losing power which they had considered their birth right. He asked the people not to give ear to the misleading statements of Opposition parties as their misrule for over last 65 years has been the cause of present mess in the State.
Later, he distributed cheques among the beneficiaries of Housing for All (HFA) scheme in the Gandhi Nagar constituency and thanked the Central Government for allocating and sanctioning funds for the State of J&K.
Gupta said that the BJP led Central Government is committed to provide all possible help for the development of J&K and that can be gauged from the fact that Central schemes are being continuously monitored for their timely implementation.
He added, even the Prime Minister holds regular video conferencing with the MPs, Chief Secretary, Administrative Secretaries and other HoD’s.
Earlier, he flagged off 14th Annual Chitto Mata/ Singhasan Mata Jyot Yatra from Rani Talab Digiana to the holy abode of Goddess in Gulabgarh of Kishtwar district.
