JAMMU, Jan 29: Provincial president of National Conference (NC) for Jammu, Rattan Lal Gupta has asserted that united opposition alone can oust the Bharatiya Janata Party in the forthcoming 2024 Parliamentary elections.
He said that Bharat Jodo Yatra has done a commendable job in bringing the opposition parties together and the same needs to be strengthened further to leave no scope at all for the BJP to return to power in 2024.
In a statement issued to media here today, the senior NC leader said that Bharat Jodo Yatra has proved a great success with National Conference supporting it wholeheartedly. He said that the overwhelming support and participation of the people during the Yatra, especially in Jammu and Kashmir has become a matter of serious concern for the BJP leaders who are in a state of utter frustration today. He said that massive participation of people in the Yatra showed anger against the UT administration. He asserted that it is high time for the opposition parties across the country to come on a single platform to counter the anti-people agenda of BJP that has gifted to the people nothing except miseries.
Elaborating further on the equations in the forthcoming elections, Gupta said that BJP is in power with only 35 percent voters having voted for it while despite 65 percent voters being with the opposition failed to put it in power because of vote division and absence of unity among the opposition. He said that in such a situation the unity of opposition is need of the hour.
He said there is a need for a coalition leadership among the opposition parties at least to fight the 2024 National elections.
The senior NC leader alleged that for the first time in history top leaders of opposition and former ministers and Legislators were ignored during the National function hosted at Raj Bhawan, Jammu, but only those associated with BJP or close to the Administration were invited in the function.
