JAMMU JULY 3RD : Jammu and Kashmir National Conference strongly criticized the so-called ‘Maha Jan Samparak Abhiyan’ launched by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of its nine years of achievements in J&K, labeling it as nothing more than a farce and a mockery of the BJP-led government.
In a statement issued here today, Rattan Lal Gupta, Provincial President JKNC Jammu said that the BJP leaders have been going door-to-door in an attempt to connect with the people of Jammu and Kashmir. However, instead of receiving a warm welcome, they are being confronted by the genuine concerns and questions of the residents.
Rattan Lal Gupta asserted that the people are rightfully questioning the BJP leaders regarding the power crisis which was unaddressed despite the BJP being in power for the last nine years at the Centre, and the lack of regular water supply, despite funds allocated for the Jal Jeevan Mission with an aim to provide tap water to every household.
“The vacant government posts, shortage of specialized doctors, failure to raise Border Battalions, lack of regularization policy for daily wage workers, and absence of action against those involved in recruitment scams are other concerns raised by the people,” during the so-called Jan Samparak Abhiyan he added.
Rattan Lal strongly criticized the Saffron Party for its continuous betrayal of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. He observed that the Government at the Centre has demonstrated a disregard and disrespect for the sentiments and aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir despite getting huge mandate during 2014 Assembly and 2019 Parliamentary elections. The erosion of trust between the people of J&K and the ruling party has created an atmosphere of frustration and apprehension, he said, demanding immediate restoration of democracy in the Union Territory.
The senior NC leader emphasized that the BJP’s actions have undermined the principles of democratic governance. He said the people of J&K deserve to have their voices heard, their concerns addressed, and their rights protected in line with the Constitution.
Rattan Lal reiterated his commitment to the welfare of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. He asserted that only the NC can fulfill the aspirations of the region and pledged to continue fighting for their rights and working towards the restoration of democracy in the region.
