SAMBA, June 16: Emphasizing that the premier role of Congress in any political set-up cannot be wished away, JKPCC working president Raman Bhalla today said the recent Parliament elections have sent out this message, very loud and clear.
“Whenever any credible authentic democratic process will be held, the results will stamp the people’s choice for Congress”, Bhalla said while addressing a public meeting at Kalibadi, near Railway Station in Samba today. Former Minister and senior vice president JKPCC Yashpal Kundal and Samba District president Sanjeev Sharma were also present on the occasion.
Speaking on the occasion, Bhalla lauded the political sagacity of the people in lending their whole hearted support to Congress in the just concluded elections, which is amply reflected by the striking rate in Jammu division. He said a clear message has gone that the next Government in Jammu and Kashmir will be formed by Congress. This has unnerved all those who had written off the party because of their little political understanding and lack of connect with the people, he added.
He said the elections have also exposed the BJP’s fragility with its lowest winning margin. Such is the credibility deficit in the party that its leaders sought votes in the name of Prime Minister Narendra Modi as their individual performances have been dismal. They failed on all fronts in deliverance during the past ten years. The development and employment generation received a huge dent. The BJP also left the daily rated workers in lurch and promises about packages proved hoax, he said.
Bhalla described the recent vote to Congress as support to its politics of inclusiveness. The people have vehemently rejected the politics of divide, which they feel is detrimental to harmonious growth of a healthy society. He said the best part of democracy is people reposing trust and giving mandate to political parties with the hope of their welfare and development and at the same time punishing them too if they fail to deliver.
Yashpal Kundal also spoke on the occasion and said that people of J&K have high hopes from Congress as it is a secular party which takes away all the people together, while BJP believes in divicive politics.
