JAMMU, June 12: Describing the nine years of BJP Government as an era of broken promises, former Minister and senior National Conference leader Ajay Kumar Sadhotra said the people of India especially of Jammu and Kashmir are angry with the policies of the Government and would certainly give the BJP a grand exit through their power of ballot.
Sadhotra was addressing a meeting organized by Dr Tony Chowdhary and Sangeet Sharma at Machine Domana in Jammu North Assembly Constituency. He called out the BJP for exploiting religious sentiments, inciting ultra-nationalist passions and creating drift between the communities to remain glued to the power.
“Now that the BJP stands exposed for failure on all fronts and pushing the nation to crisis like situations, it has resorted to visiting doorsteps of the alienated people, in a vain bid to establish the connect, but the response is more than clear, as manifested in the recently held Karnataka that has sent shock waves to the entire saffron rank and file”, said Sadhotra.
He described the BJP as dream merchants, saying they might have perfection in marketing practices but on the delivery front, their track record is dismal. Referring to the bleak scenario in Jammu and Kashmir, Sadhotra said as if the burgeoning unemployment was not enough, the poor young students feel handicapped to pursue studies after 12th class as the process for higher education has been made cumbersome by introducing the nation-wide competition for admissions.
“After paying the hefty admission fee, the candidates are unsure about the examination centres outside the Union Territory. This is the gift of the BJP to the younger generation which is seen as the future of the nation,” he added.
Others who spoke on the occasion were Rakesh Sharma (YNC president), Dr Rajinder Kumar Sharma, Subash Chander, Madan Lal Bhagat, Deepak Singh Rakwal, Guni Ram, Natha Ram Bhagat, Rashpal Chand Verma, Parvez, Rajinder Kumar and Nanak Singh Jamwal.
