HIRANAGAR, June 28: Provincial president of J&K National Conference Jammu has criticized BJP government’s ongoing misgovernance and misrule in Jammu and Kashmir, attributing the record turnout in the Lok Sabha polls to the frustration and disillusionment of the Kashmiri people with the present administration.
The senior NC leader was speaking during a day-long convention of JKNC workers and functionaries of District Kathua (Rural) at Hiranagar today. The convention was organized under the Chairmanship of District president Kathua Rural Sham Narayan Mehta.
Reacting strongly over the wrong narrative run by the BJP leadership with regard to highest turnout in J&K, Rattan Lal Gupta said that there is no region in J&K which is not confronting the effects of misrule of the BJP-led Government. He categorically highlighted the number of challenges faced by the people of Kashmir under the incumbent Government.
“The unprecedented turnout in the recent Lok Sabha elections is a clear and unequivocal message from the people of Kashmir,” he said, adding that it is a manifestation of their deep-seated frustration with the mismanagement, recruitment scams and relentless neglect by the central dispensation.
He highlighted the gap between the local administration and the people alleging that there is no one to listen to their plight as their aspirations have been unheard with those sitting at helm preferring monologue rather than satiating hopes and demands of the people. He said the alarming situation is contributing significantly to the deterioration of educational standards and the future prospects of students.
Earlier, NC District president Hiranagar highlighted the hardships being faced by people on account of acute shortage of water, mismanaged healthcare facilities and erratic power supply besides Government dilly-dallying policy on settlement of compensation cases.
Central Zone president and former Minister, Babu Ram Pal alleged that the BJP Government is facing a policy deficit with regard to uplifting the weaker sections of the society. He said that existing policies are inadequate and fail to address the pressing needs of marginalized communities, leaving them without proper support or opportunities for improvement.
Senior leaders Sheikh Bashir Ahmed, Pardeep Bali , Vijay Lochan Chairman SC Cell, and Rakesh Singh Raka also spoke on the occasion.
Sager Chand former MLA, Abdul Gani Teli, Sham Mehra, Dharam Pal Kundal, Janak Raj, Prem Verma, Dr Y P Singh and others were also present.
