RAMBAN, Sept 16: Provincial president of Jammu & Kashmir National Conference (JKNC), Rattan Lal Gupta, launched a scathing attack on the Double Engine Government of BJP, holding it responsible for not curbing militancy completely in J&K as claimed by them.
Rattan Lal was addressing a massive election rally of NC candidate from Ramban constituency, Advocate Arjun Singh Raju. Gupta countered the misleading statement of Home Minister Amit Shah, during his rally in Doda, against the Congress-NC alliance, blaming the coalition had “nourished terrorism.”
Responding sharply, he said, “The BJP’s mishandling of the situation in J&K has led to the increase of terrorism. Under the double-engine BJP Government for last ten years, the Union Territory has witnessed nothing but an increase in people’s problems, devastation, and widespread disappointment. There is not a single achievement that the people of J&K can attribute to the BJP.”
Reflecting the tenure of NC, Rattan Lal Gupta emphasized that the Jammu region had been made completely free of militancy under the NC’s leadership. However, in the last two years, terrorism has returned to Chenab valley, Pir Panjal, Udhampur, Reasi, Jammu, Kathua and Samba districts.
Speaking over the ongoing poll scenario, the provincial president noted a growing wave of support for the NC across the region, calling it a “tsunami” that would bring the NC back to power. He assured that once the NC is voted back into Government, they will take decisive action to eliminate terrorism from the Jammu region once again and bring peace and prosperity back in the region.
Advocate Arjun Singh Raju reaffirmed the commitment of the Congress-NC alliance to address the pressing concerns of the general public. He urged the people of Ramban constituency to vote for the alliance, promising that their victory would signal the beginning of a new chapter in the region’s history.
