BARAMULLA, Nov 16: Stating that Congress Party is ready to face the challenges and defeat the falsehood of BJP and its offshoots, J&K Pradesh Congress Committee president, Vikar Rasool Wani slammed the Central Government for doing misleading politics in-order to hide its failure on all fronts.
Wani was addressing workers’ convention in Dak Bungalow Baramulla in which senior Party leaders of JKPCC and DCC Baramulla were present.
Addressing the convention, Wani described Congress as an instrument of service to the people, which has represented their urges and aspirations, in true sense, it will continue to work for their wellbeing and inclusive development of Jammu and Kashmir. He said J&K has witnessed ugliest situation due to wrong policies adopted by the Modi Govt and expressed serious concern over the rising unemployment, lack of development and depressed economy confronting people of J&K while lashing out at the unprecedented price hike and other failures of Govt which is responsible for making living condition of people difficult, he said.
JKPCC president slammed the Centre and State Government for failing to mitigate the sufferings of the people with regard to their development, employment generation and many other issues, though tall claims are being made on daily basis for local consumption, but the reality is BJP has failed to restore the confidence amongst the people given its false promises and failures on all fronts.
Wani also blamed BJP Govt and its offshoots for doing misleading politics in order to hide their failures on all fronts. He asked BJP to stop targeting Congress Party aiming to hide its failures on all fronts while advising both Centre and State Govt to take effective measures to address the concerns of people, who are suffering badly in absence of the popular Govt and demanded restoration of full Statehood and holding of assembly elections.
Senior Party leaders Ghulam Nabi Monga (Ex-MLC), Mohd Anwar Bhat and Sheikh Amir (Adv) also addressed the gathering.
