JAMMU, Apr 6: Senior vice president of J&K Pradesh Congress Committee and former Minister Mula Ram, along with Hari Singh Chib, vice president of JKPCC, conducted a series of meetings in Marh Constituency to garner support for the party’s candidate Raman Bhalla for the Jammu Lok Sabha seat.
During their visit, the senior Congress leaders held indoor meetings at several villages including Kalyanpur, Pakhiyan, Jhiri, Chak Dabbain and Bachiyal. They engaged with prominent individuals to discuss the party’s achievements in serving the people and elevating the nation.
Mula Ram criticized the BJP Government, asserting that its policies had led to the transformation of Jammu from a sacred Temple City into a hub of liquor consumption. He pointedly accused the Government of showing favouritism towards external contractors, neglecting the interests of indigenous inhabitants in the process. He underscored the heavy burden placed upon the people of Jammu due to exorbitant taxation, encompassing levies on essential services such as electricity, water, and taxes, exacerbating the financial strain on local residents.
He voiced deep concern regarding the detrimental repercussions of BJP’s governance on the youth of Jammu and Kashmir, highlighting potential adverse effects on their future prospects and well-being.
Hari Singh echoed these sentiments, highlighting the public’s dissatisfaction with the BJP’s autocratic rule and tax terrorism. He criticized the BJP leaders for turning a blind eye to the harassment faced by ordinary citizens at the hands of bureaucrats. He lamented the lack of empathy and action from those in power, highlighting the need for a more compassionate and responsive approach to governance.
Chib emphasized that the people are determined to remove the BJP from power and send a resounding message about the hardships they have endured under the current regime. He expressed discontent over the delayed restoration of statehood, failure to protect land and job rights and the prolonged absence of Assembly elections.
The senior Congress leaders appealed to the people of Marh Constituency to exercise their democratic right by endorsing and voting for the Congress party’s MP candidate during the upcoming elections scheduled for April 26, 2024, with an aim to get rid of anti-people policies adopted by the BJP Government.
