CHHAMB, July 27: Senior Congress leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Tara Chand has said that India Alliance will form the Government after the Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir as people have come to know that party in power only serves the interests of crony capitalists and not the common man.
Addressing public meeting in Dori Gulaba area of Block Khara Balli of Chhamb Constituency today, Tara Chand said that ruling party has downgraded and divided the historical State into UT and deprived people of their valuable rights of people of J&K, who are worst sufferers of the policies of the Government in last ten years and there is no elected Government for several years. He said that mood of people in J&K and elsewhere in the country is to replace this pro rich and anti poor, anti youth and anti-farmers Government.
Former DyCM lashed out at the ruling party for total betrayal with people of J&K in which Jammu has suffered the most in every sphere. Our identity, status, rights and resources have been snatched and moreover our democracy has been taken away. People have been left at the mercy of bureaucrats who are accountable to none and dancing to the tunes of their political masters. The unemployment is at the peak, the price rise is touching the sky and common man is made to pay taxes and fees from their noose. Government has only opened liquor shops and deprived the local people of their business, jobs and contracts while poor people, daily wagers, Anganwadi, Asha workers, contractuals, temporary and other employees are betrayed.
He said that Congress party believes in an inclusive and prosperous J&K that does not discriminate on the basis of religion, caste, class, language, region or creed. He further said the principles envisaged by Congress helped us unite as a people. We have to continue our fight for the restoration of our infringed rights, he said.
Prominent among those present on the occasion included- Sahil Sharma secretary PCC, Vijay Chib, Madanlal Sharma senior vice president Jammu Rural, Bodh Raj Sharma, Dwarka Nath Sharma, Ex- BDC Chairman, Jagdish Raj Sharma Block president, Raj Kumar Sharma Block president, Gautam Sharma, Desraj Sharma, Chunni Lal, Tarsem Singh and others.
