SAMBA, June 3: With BJP facing a humiliating defeat in the recent by polls held for Parliamentary and Assembly seats, the people of the country have given a clear message that they can no longer be swayed by rhetoric and false promises.
Addressing a large public meeting at Bri Kamila in Samba constituency today, the NPP chairman and former minister Harsh Dev Singh said, ” People would give you a chance but if you fail to perform, they would not hesitate to show you the door.”
He said that people of the country were immensely pained to bear the brunt of unchecked inflation and raging prices, growing unemployment and a sagging economy besides disregard for the high pitched slogans of ‘Ache Din’ and good governance so loudly trumpeted by the BJP during elections. He said that with BJP winning just one seat out of 10 Assembly seats and merely one out of four Parliamentary seats should be an eye opener for the highly impudent and self flattered BJP which had abandoned its core fundamentals merely for the lust of power.
Calling upon the people to take cue from the recent elections, Harsh Dev said that with Modi’s wax masculine image fast melting, it was the regional parties alone that could meet the public expectations at the local level and mitigate their sufferings.
With the economy of Samba dependent primarily upon industry, Singh called upon the Govt to incentivize the young entrepreneurs who were feeling over stressed in terms of working capital and other procedural impediments. Describing industry as the one single largest employer in district Samba, he regretted the gradual withdrawal of incentives and other packages which had led to exodus besides denting the industrial proliferation in the area.
He regretted that the industry faced a recession during the last few years with Govt averse to the concerns of young entrepreneurs and those associated with industry. He said that the procedural logjams and some discriminatory provisions in the SRO-63, SRO-519 and SRO-521 needed to be reviewed so as to give a boost to the industrial activity.
Yash Paul Kundal (Ex-MLA Samba), while seeking a higher share of employment for local youth in Samba industry called for early settlement of issues pertaining to industry and entrepreneurs. He said that the current state of affairs has created great apprehension and severely shattered the entrepreneur confidence. The industrial sector, he said, was almost dumbfounded about the fate of their existing investments and those, which were underway.
