JAMMU, Dec 23: Congress workers celebrated the victory of the Congress coalition in Jharkhand Assembly elections ousting the BJP led Govt out of power in the State.
A number of Congress leaders and workers held celebrations at Congress Headquarters at Shahidi Chowk, Jammu, as the results of the Jharkhand Assembly elections were declared today. The jubilant Congress workers distributed sweets and burst crackers to celebrate the results.
Talking to media persons on the occasion, the JKPCC chief spokesperson Ravinder Sharma said that the people of the country have been realizing the falsehood and diversionary tactics of BJP, as a result, the BJP is loosing State after State where elections are being held after the Lok Sabha elections. The failure of the BJP to fulfil the promises and its attempts to divert the attention of people from real issues have failed to hoodwink the people any longer.
He charged BJP of misleading the people to malign the Congress party on various issues but people now see through the divisive and diversionary agenda of BJP Government and giving a reply to the ruling party through ballot. The BJP has tried to use the issues of abrogation of special status for J&K in Haryana and Maharashtra and now CAA too, in Jharkhand for political gains but it suffered great setback and lost the elections.
On the issue of CAA, Sharma questioned that why their (BJP) own important allies like JDU, Akali Dal and others are not supporting them now. Before questioning Congress, the BJP should explain the reservations shown by their own allies about the CAA. He termed BJP charge against Congress as totally false and politically motivated.
He said that earlier also the Congress amended the Citizenship Act for nine times to grant citizenship to the deserving people but the present amendment is against the basic spirit of our Constitution for which vast majority of people are opposing it.
Prominent those present on the occasion include YV Sharma- president JK Professional Congress, Vikram Malhotra- president DCC Jammu Urban, Shashi Sharma, Neeraj Gupta, Thomas Khokhar-PCC secretaries; Mohinder Parihar- DCC president Kishtwar, Iqbal Dar, Rajveer Singh, Rajinder Singh Pinki, Sahil Sharma, Camres David (Babloo), Parshotam Mehra, Dr Rama Kant Khajuria, BB Gupta, Madan Lal Malagar, PS Chouhan, Kirtan Singh and others.
