RAJOURI, Mar 11: BJP general secretary, Vibodh Gupta, today said that the Congress and other political parties ruled the country and the erstwhile State of Jammu and Kashmir for more than 65 years after independence but did nothing on the ground to mitigate the sufferings of the people, neither displayed any serious concern towards development and welfare as a result, the people of J&K faced miseries.
Addressing a joining function in village Dhanwa in Rajouri district, Vibodh Gupta, said that people in the entire length and breadth of the UT, like other parts of the country, are getting inspired by the good governance model of the Modi Government and joining BJP in large numbers almost on a daily basis.
This function was organized to welcome a prominent SC leader, Govind Lal, along with dozens of his supporters and former Sarpanch Haji Abdul Haq, former Sarpanch Mohd Aqeel, former Panch Abdul Rashid, Razual Haq, Altaf Hussain, Bilal Ahmed, Mohammad Saqeer, Mohammad Azam, Shamir Hussain joined the BJP. Vibodh Gupta said that the Congress and other parties failed to lure the people anymore as they had lost patience and wanted to teach them a lesson for promoting dynastic politics, corruption, and misgovernance. In the 2014 general elections, people across the country, including J&K, voted overwhelmingly in favor of BJP to see Narendra Modi as Prime Minister as they were convinced that it was only BJP and Narendra Modi, which could be trusted. “BJP after forming Government at the Centre in 2014 under Narendra Modi, launched various mega developmental projects and initiated a large number of welfare schemes,” Vibodh Gupta said while adding that the people in Jammu and Kashmir experienced the real taste of development and mass welfare in the Modi Government and returned BJP to power again in 2019 with Narendra Modi as PM for the second time. Vibodh Gupta said that the people were befooled and were deprived from substantial development and social welfare as they were misled, exploited, neglected, and discriminated during the rule of non-BJP parties.
Prominent who accompanied Gupta were Ranjeet Tara district general secretary, BJP Rajouri, Abdul Qayoom Mir DDC Member and Administrator Aquaf, Dr Garu Sanehi, Sanjay Sharma and others.
