JAMMU, Oct 6: Senior Congress leader and former Minister, Raman Bhalla has claimed that pro-people Congress is the only viable regional alternative for the people of the State.
Addressing various public meetings in various wards of Gandhi Nagar today, Bhalla said priority of PDP-BJP regime was never to empower people by strengthening democratic institutions but those at the helm of the affairs wanted to accomplish their nefarious designs by controlling such institutions through undemocratic means. Such attitude of the ruling party has been proved disastrous for the State.
Terming the promises made by PDP-BJP Government as “mere bluffs”, Bhalla said that voters are fed up with the “sheer opportunism” of these two parties. Both the parties took the extreme positions on most of the emotional issues and exploited their respective constituencies. He said that with most hostile and spasmodic dozes of discrimination administered to Jammu youth in selections one after the other in the BJP had given Jammuites the shocker of their life time.
Bhalla strongly accused the Bhartiya Janta Party over its discriminatory attitude towards Jammu after its failure in all fronts including much talked the anti Militancy drive, allocation of funds and their promise of employment in equal share at par to Kashmir. He said BJP at Centre and previous PDP- BJP coalition in Jammu and Kashmir failed in doing justice particularly with the people of Jammu region in all spheres including governance and deliverance whether it may be the case of equal share in employment through Public Service Commission, SSRB and other recruitment state agencies there is a complete discrimination with Jammu people during past three years which can be depicted in the selection lists issued by the different agencies including PSC and SSRB.
Bhalla also pointed out the less allocation of funds in the Jammu region as compared to Kashmir in all sectors including PWD , PHE, Irrigation and Flood Control, PDD, Health and Medical Education Deptt, Housing and Urban Development, Rural Development Deptt and Education as well the diversion of allocated funds from Jammu region to Kashmir region without any justified reason by virtue of which a huge liability had been created and the people are suffering badly due to non availability of required funds. He appealed to the people to support Congress Party in the ULB elections.
