JAMMU, May 11: Claiming that people were “disturbed over the change in BJP’s attitude after getting a clear mandate”, JKPCC working president Raman Bhalla today said that the public would teach a lesson to the BJP in J&K Assembly elections due later this year.
BJP will lick dust in the coming J&K assembly polls, Bhalla said while interacting with aggrieved people of Barzala upper and lower Barzala, Chatha Farm. Prominent among those present on the occasion include Amrit Bali (vice chairman JKPCC Refugee Cell) and Pawan Bhagat (general secretary SC Cell).
Bhalla alleged that BJP is full of arrogance over the majority that it got and has not fulfilled even a single promise that it made to people of J&K. “People have now come to know the reality of the Saffron party. After apprehending a bad show in the elections, it starts indulging in politics of caste and religion,” he alleged.
“Everyone knows what happened in J&K after giving them mandate, people are now realizing that they have committed a mistake by giving majority to BJP,” he said while adding that people of J&K are eagerly awaiting for the next available opportunity to teach BJP and its allies a lesson for letting them down and not fulfilling promises made to them.
Bhalla claimed that people are yearning for a change and want riddance from the BJP’s misrule in view of the dangerous attempts to polarize the country on religious lines for narrow electoral gains. He gave a clarion call to the people to prepare themselves for giving a befitting reply to the divisive forces led by BJP as the opportunity would arise in the coming Assembly elections.
He said Congress is duty bound to empower every section of the UT equally especially the youth, who hold the key to development and can change the direction, for which they need to rise to the occasion to show the power of their vote in the future elections.
