Talking to reporters during his visit to M A Stadium here today, Reddy said that the Congress leader made disrespectful statement on Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir, Hari Singh and undermined his contribution to the region while addressing election rallies yesterday.
He said it is unfortunate that Rahul Gandhi also did not spare LT Governor of J&K saying that LG behaves like a King and the King has no connection to the people.
He said Congress leader’s statement is contemptuous to Maharaja and Lt Governor. He said how hard campaigning Rahul Gandhi and National Conference president, Dr Farooq Abdullah will make they will not get even a single seat from Jammu region as people of J&K have decided to give BJP a massive mandate this time in the Assembly election.
Reddy, while criticising Rahul Gandhi said he (Rahul) should at least be aware that Governors or Lieutenant Governors are not necessarily from the States they serve. “I advise him to come better prepared in the future,” he added.
“I strongly condemn his statement. Rahul Gandhi should apologize to the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir and to the people of India for his irresponsible and misguided comment.” Click here to watch video
Further questioning Rahul Gandhi, Reddy asked, “You call the Lieutenant Governor an outsider, but during your decades of Congress rule, in how many instances did your Government appointed a Governor or Lieutenant Governor from that same State? Let Congress and Rahul Gandhi release that list. As Prime Minister, Narendra Modi pointed out, Rahul Gandhi is’ ‘Balak Buddhi’ who lacks basic understanding and therefore he should seek guidance from those aware of the issues before delivering such speeches, and his party must seriously address this issue.”
He continued, “Rahul Gandhi and the Congress Party have consistently spread lies, misled the public, and made baseless promises. It is a shame that India has a Leader of Opposition like Rahul Gandhi who constantly attacks the Supreme Court, the Election Commission, the Armed Forces and other Constitutional bodies. He goes abroad and makes anti-India statements. This approach is rooted in deception, fraud and manipulation. However, this time, the public will not be fooled by their tactics”, he added.
Reddy further emphasised that Rahul Gandhi’s comments, made on the 23rd September the birth anniversary of Maharaja Hari Singh, have deeply hurt the sentiments of people of Jammu and Kashmir and has added insult to the injury. He remarked, “Rahul Gandhi’s statement on the birth anniversary of Maharaja Hari Singh, suggesting that the King is distant from the public and that the LG behaves like a King and that a King has no connection to the people, is not only disrespectful to Maharaja Hari Singh but also undermines his contributions to the region. His remarks are further evidence of Rahul Gandhi’s utter disregard for India’s ancient civilization, culture, and heritage.”
Reddy said this is the term of BJP to form Government in J&K for its prosperity, peace, development and promotion of tourism as has been guaranteed by the party.
Reddy claimed that BJP will win hundred percent seats from Jammu region and both NC and Congress could not even open their account from this region as people have decided to support BJP.
Reddy who visited stadium to oversee the arrangements and preparations while giving details of party’s campaigning in Jammu region disclosed that on September 28, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be addressing the ‘BJP’s Mahasankalp rally’ in this Stadium.
He said, “This time, we will form a strong Government in Jammu and Kashmir. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister, Amit Shah, our party’s national president, JP Nadda, Defence Minister, Rajnath Singh, Transport Minister, Nitin Gadkari along with several State CMs and senior leaders, have held rallies at every Assembly constituency level.
“BJP activists are working tirelessly, engaging with the people, and informing them about the groundbreaking efforts and initiatives undertaken by Narendra Modi for the welfare of the region.”
Reddy said “Door-to-door campaigning is underway, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. The people of Jammu and Kashmir trust that only the BJP can realise their aspirations,” he added.
