JAMMU, Sept 15: Several leaders of various political parties and hundreds of workers associated with them today joined Congress in Jammu, extending the massive shift of political leaders to the Congress party, under the leadership of JKPCC working president Raman Bhalla.
He welcomed everyone to the party and called upon them to reach the Congress’s policies door-to-door by getting into the field. Those who joined include Dev Raj Bhagat (District vice president Aam Admi Party), Yashpal (Town president Aam Admi Party), Capt. Bodh Raj (Zone president Aam Admi Party), Sohan Lal, Somnath, Bhushan Kumar, Mulkh Raj, Ashok Kumar, Satpal, Mangat Ram, Darshan Lal Bhagat (Retd JK Bank Manager) of Bishnah.
Speaking on the occasion, Bhalla said that public anger was on the rise against BJP Govt’s wrong policies in J&K. He alleged that every section of the society is fed up with this “anti-people” dispensation. He urged the people to get rid of the “anti-people” BJP in the next Assembly elections. He said all sections of the society are suffering because of “anti-people policies” of the BJP Government. He said that the poor-sections of the society are suffering a lot due to mis-rule of both Central and LG Administration, which are led by BJP.
He asked the people that if they want to mitigate their sufferings, they must come under the banner of Congress Party whose leaders have sacrificed their whole life for the upliftment of poor masses of India. Senior Congress leader accused the BJP Government of befooling the people of J&K by its false claims of development. Bhalla lashed out at BJP for abandoning people with their problems being related to the basic amenities during its nightmarish rule, saying the promises made during 2014 Parliamentary and Assembly elections proved just hoax. BJP did nothing for the people except generating passions on religious and regional lines. The people have been living miserable life during the past more than nine years, with nobody addressing their problems, he added.
Expressing dismay over functioning of the BJP Government in J&K Bhalla referred to nepotism and favoritism in the process of selection to various posts and said the scenario is dismal. He said the first and the foremost priority for the Union Government should have been immediate restoration of Statehood to J&K which would have eventually paved the way for resumption of democratic processes.
