DODA, July 22: Accusing PDP and BJP of betraying people to get benefitted politically and to save their sinking boat, former Minister and senior Congress leader Mohd Sharief Niaz said that people of the State would never forget for what PDP and BJP have done to the State and people by misleading them on the name of so called agenda of alliance.
“Both the parties have played with the emotions of people for the sake of power by playing emotional cards in the elections,” Niaz said while addressing a series of meeting at Gandoo, Chilli, Dhruwadi, Thaloran and Ladoo Kansar in Bhadharwah constituency, here today.
Describing PDP-BJP alliance a complete failure and un-holly, Niaz said that people in all the three regions are suffering badly due to political drama staged by PDP-BJP after leaving people midway on mercy of God. He cautioned against attempts of trampling the inclusive spirit of Jammu, saying the people won’t spare those trying to break their time tested unity.
He lashed out at the BJP for ditching people of Jammu and said its pretentions have fallen apart during the past nearly four years, as this region has suffered the most. “By exploiting sentiments of innocent Dogras for decades, the BJP stands exposed for the self-centric approach of its leaders, whose greed has superimposed public interest in every arena”, he added.
The Former Minister castigated the BJP for anti-poor and anti-workers’ policies, saying the introduction of GST had jeopardized the interests of both—the entrepreneurs and the workers. “By promising Ache Din for the poor, they have broken the backbone of skilled and unskilled work force”, he said.
Niaz invited the attention of Governor administration towards the regularization of daily wagers of all departments and increase the salary of Anganwari workers and Special Police Officers (SPOs).
