JAMMU, Nov 28: Former Minister and National Panthers Party chairman Harsh Dev Singh has said that Governor SP Malik’s statement made in Gwalior recently that New Delhi wanted him to install Sajjad Lone as Chief Minister of J&K has spilled the beans and stripped the BJP naked before the public.
Harsh Dev said that Governor in his speech in a function organized by a Gwalior based University categorically said that he did not install Sajjad Lone’s Govt as he did not want to be remembered as a dishonest person. His sensational disclosure had created ripples in the political landscape of the State. The BJP stood fully exposed for its duplicity and ‘dishonest’ intentions by the honest confession made by the Governor, Singh said.
“ No further proof of BJP’s unprincipled politics was required. Governor’s clarification should serve as an eye opener for the people of Jammu especially its supporters and allied organizations,” Singh added.
Amazed over the BJP’s unexplained fondness for Sajjad Lone deliriously oblivious of his separatist antecedents, Singh questioned the Saffron Party over its policies of ‘die hard nationalism’ and ‘zero tolerance’ loudly proclaimed by it in the past. He said that by promoting Sajjad Lone, the BJP had not only compromised with its age old philosophy but betrayed the collective sentiment of Dogras who gave it 25 seats on the strength of its slogans of giving a Jammu base Chief Minister. By sponsoring Sajjad Lone as the Chief Ministerial candidate, the BJP had admitted its political bankruptcy and its unmitigated lust for power thereby losing its left over steam and sheen in its political strong hold.
Describing BJP leaders as anti-Jammu, Singh said that Governor’s expose would serve as the last nail in the coffin of the Saffron Party with people giving it a befitting reply in the days to come.
