UDHAMPUR, Mar 21: Accusing the BJP of back stabbing Dogras, Harsh Dev Singh, chairman JKNPP and former Minister today said that these self proclaimed champions of Jammu surrendered before the Kashmir centric forces immediately after attaining power by jettisoning even their own fundamentals.
“They not only acted in furtherance of the agenda of their Kashmir centric bosses during the three and a half year rule but abandoned all issues of Jammu to keep their ally in good humour and now on the eve of elections these saffron leaders have all over again started harping over the old populist slogans of youth empowerment, employment and development packages and the like to hoodwink the gullible masses in a bid to retrieve their lost ground,” said Harsh.
He said that people could no longer be cajoled by such deceptive slogans as they had very well recognized the duplicitous character of BJP and seen through its opportunistic politics. He was addressing public meetings in Kuh Nala and Talpad villages of Udhampur East constituency. More than hundred people including women and youth joined NPP during these meetings.
Singh said that it was the time to question the BJP about the promises that it made to its electorates during previous parliamentary and Assembly elections. “Not only did the BJP fail to keep its promises but inflicted the biggest dent upon Dogra pride and honour by its successive compromises and surrenders. It was with BJP support that PDP and other separatist forces succeeded in dubbing Dogras as ‘rapist supporters’. It was BJP Government at the Centre and State that denied CBI probe in Rasana case, a demand which was most vociferously made not only by people of District Kathua but entire Dogra belt.
Appealing the people to strengthen and support Panthers Party, Harsh said that a regional party of Jammu alone could assuage the hurt psyche of Dogras and deliver justice to the hitherto neglected and incarcerated Dogra land.
