Avinash Rai Khanna said BJP policies are accepted by one and all and as such all political and social workers have come forward to join BJP to serve the society better and we welcome them all with open arms. In last Assembly elections, no party was in a position to ignore BJP in the Government forming process. “We joined Government, but as soon as we felt that in the alliance Government, we couldn’t do enough according to our promises, we left immediately thereafter’’, he added.
BJP has kept progressing with its agenda of nation building, since inception of Jana Sangha and followed perfect synchronization between words and actions, Khanna said. “By taking decisive action on Articles 370 & 35(A), we have delivered on what we promised in our every speech’’, Khanna added.
Khanna, alleged that common Kashmiri has understood real intentions of detained politicians (in Kashmir) as they failed to be qualified as leaders and now they don’t enjoy any mass support, as only few members of few selected families came to protest for single day, who received direct or indirect benefits earlier. Nobody in Kashmir is supporting these politicians, who have looted the innocent on various pretexts. These leaders were totally exposed before the masses, Khanna added.
People taught lesson to parties like Congress, NC and PDP during their boycott call in Panchayat polls and in BDC polls too, these family based parties are being given befitting reply as the BJP has already registered win in 15 seats in Kashmir alone and we are going to witness heavy vote cast in BJP’s favour on 24th October.
