Rahul Gandhi slams Govt. over the ongoing eviction drive in J&K, saying that the region needs love instead of the “BJP’s bulldozer.”
12-02-2023 : Sunday, Rahul Gandhi criticized the BJP for the ongoing anti-encroachment campaign in Jammu and Kashmir, claiming that the Union Territory desired greater employment opportunities, increased business, and love but received the “BJP’s bulldozer” instead.
जम्मू-कश्मीर को चाहिए रोज़गार, बेहतर व्यापार और प्यार, मगर उन्हें मिला क्या? भाजपा का बुलडोज़र!
कई दशकों से जिस ज़मीन को वहां के लोगों ने मेहनत से सींचा, उसे उनसे छीना जा रहा है।

Major political parties have voiced their disagreement with the drive and called for an immediate end to it, including Congress, the National Conference, and the PDP.
As of now, the government has recovered more than 10 lakh kanals of land throughout Jammu and Kashmir. On January 7, Commissioner Secretary of the Revenue Department Vijay Kumar Bidhuri gave all deputy commissioners the order to ensure that all encroachments from state land were completely removed.
Gandhi wrote in a Hindi tweet, “Jammu and Kashmir desired work, improved economic opportunities, and affection, but what did they receive? Bulldozer of the BJP”
The former head of the Congress claimed that the land, which the people had cultivated over many years with their labour, was being taken from them.
“By uniting, not dividing people, peace and Kashmiriyat will be safeguarded,” he declared.
Gandhi also made reference to a media story that stated the eviction drive had sparked panic in Jammu and Kashmir.
