JAMMU, Jan 2: Describing dual control on governance as detrimental to the interests of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, senior NC leader and former Minister Ajay Sadhotra today said the BJP has not learnt any lesson from the history and it should remember that oppressive politics has a very short shelf life.
In a statement issued today, Sadhotra accused the BJP of hindering progress by enforcing dual control on governance, pursuing anti-people policies, and stifling development.
Former Minister said that the people of Jammu and Kashmir are well aware of the BJP’s divisive agenda, which is designed to derail the region’s progress. He also asked the BJP to read writing on the wall, as the people in this part of the country remain steadfast in their support for the National Conference’s progressive election manifesto, vision and proven leadership.
He lambasted the BJP for its lack of understanding of the J&K politics that doesn’t accept bullying tactics. He emphasized that the National Conference has the track record of fighting reactionary, divisive and communal forces whenever they tried to trample the glorious ethos of the state, which they have reduced to Union Territory. He said the NC has consistently demonstrated robust leadership and a clear roadmap addressing the aspirations of all regions and sub-regions of Jammu and Kashmir, he said and highlighted the party’s comprehensive, election manifesto and vision that prioritizes employment generation for educated youth, skilled and unskilled, implementing actionable policies to combat unemployment and provide sustainable livelihoods.
He said that National Conference is committed to addressing issues concerning marginalized communities and tackling the challenges faced by disadvantaged sections of society through targeted programmes.
“Unlike the BJP which is confined to few pockets of a region only, the National Conference, having presence in every nook and corner of both the regions, remains committed to the holistic development of Jammu and Kashmir, irrespective of region, religion or caste”, Sadhotra said and reiterated his party’s unwavering resolve to serve the people and work towards their brighter future.
