JAMMU: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKN) has launched a scathing attack against the month-long campaign initiated by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) called the “Maha Jan Sampark Abhiyan”. The party alleged that the BJP has failed to deliver on its promise to the people of India and has only succeeded in dividing the country on communal lines.
Criticizing the “Maha Jan Sampark Abhiyan” campaign initiated by the BJP to celebrate the 9 years of Modi government at the Centre, Zeeshan Rana, Additional Spokesperson JKNC said that the BJP has failed to deliver on its promises to the people of India and has only succeeded in dividing the country on communal lines.
The NC leader said that the 9-year rule of the Modi government has been disastrous for the country. He said the government at the Centre has failed to address the pressing issues of unemployment, inflation, and communal hatred, and has instead worsened these problems.
“The government has been unable to create jobs for the youth of the country despite promising to do so. The unemployment rate in India has reached an all-time high and millions of educated youth are still unemployed. The Modi government’s policies have failed to generate employment opportunities, and as a result, the youth are suffering,” he said.
The senior NC leader said Inflation, too, has been a major issue under the BJP government. The government’s poor policies have led to a rise in the prices of essential commodities, causing immense hardship to the common man, he added.
Rana said communalism and the hatred between different communities has also worsened in recent years. “The government has time and again played the communal card to win elections and has pitted one community against the other. This has led to a deepening of the fault lines in Indian society,” he said.
The NC Spokesperson said that the situation is no different in Jammu and Kashmir, where the people are suffering under the BJP government’s policies. He said that there is a lack of democracy in Jammu and Kashmir, with the people not being able to elect their popular government. The BJP government has failed to fulfill its promise of restoring democracy in the state and has instead put the people of J&K under tremendous pressure, he added.
Rana further added that the people of Jammu and Kashmir have suffered immensely under the BJP government’s policies. The abrogation of Article 370 and the bifurcation of the state into two Union Territories has caused immense hardship to the people of J&K, who are still struggling to come to terms with the changes.
“The BJP government’s lack of understanding of the complex issues of J&K has only made things worse, with the people feeling increasingly alienated from the mainstream,” he added.
Zeeshan Raan called for an end to the politics of hate and communalism and for the restoration of democracy in J&K. He asked the Modi government to take concrete steps to address the issues of unemployment and inflation and to put in place policies that will generate employment opportunities and help the common man.
The NC leader has called on all political parties to come together and work towards the betterment of the people of India and Jammu and Kashmir. He asked BJP to stop playing politics and to focus on addressing the pressing issues facing the country. He advised the Modi government to take concrete steps to address the pressing issues of unemployment and inflation and to restore democracy in Jammu and Kashmir.
