BILLAWAR, Mar 12: Hitting hard the BJP and its J&K leadership for cheating the people of J&K, former Minister Dr Manohar Lal Sharma today said that the BJP has lost the moral right to go to J&K people after betrayal after betrayal.
Addressing a public meeting at Dhramkote in Billawar constituency today Sharma said most of the people in the area belongs to BPL category and unable to run their family affairs. People in the area lack proper water and power supply besides suffering on account of no road connectivity. He criticized Govt for hiking power tariff and said that people of this area are unable to pay hiked tariff.
Former minister took a dig at BJP leadership for celebrating their achievements, whereas its Government badly failed on various fronts, including economy, foreign policy, communal harmony, inflation, farmers’ income, national security, welfare for the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and other Backward Classes. He alleged that the ruling government’s promise of good days was meant only for themselves or a selected group of industrialists and capitals whose wealth had increased. Unemployment is high and has broken record all previous records while inflation is rising especially of essential commodities.
He alleged BJP rule has made J&K miserable. The deteriorating economic condition and rising unemployment have become the most pressing problems before J&K at present. He asked BJP to spell out achievements in J&K which they are celebrating. He said people of J&K are cursing this insensitive Govt for ignoring them completely and making them suffer for everything.
Sharma said the BJP, which is in power for the last more than nine years has been boasting about development in J&K, but has not been able to provide basic amenities like power and water. The J&K administration has miserably failed on every scale to provide basic amenities to the people. J&K’s unemployment rate is almost twice that of the national average. Tourism, transport, handicraft sectors particularly agriculture and horticulture are the worst hit with lakhs of people affiliated with these sectors reeling under financial miseries.
