BJP’s Jan Sampark Abhiyan attempt to seek apology from the people  for unfulfilled promises: Rattan Lal  

JAMMU:  June ⁰⁸ : Rattan Lal Gupta, Provincial President J&K National Conference Jammu said that BJP’s Jan Sampark Abhiyan is nothing but an attempt to seek apology from the people for the unfulfilled promises, which the party made during the run-up to polls. 

In a statement issued to media persons, the senior NC leader said that even a layman in politics can understand the dismal position of the Saffron party, which has drastically failed in fulfilling its promises on containing inflation, providing employment to unemployed and ensuring amenities to the people leading to its leadership going into apologetic mode and seeking another chance, which the people will never give to this ‘flock of liars’, who tried to rely on Jumlas more than once to befool the electorate.

Recalling the pragmatic and prolific endeavour of NC regime headed by Omar Abdullah which gave 659 new, Panchayats,  Blocks, Niabats, Tehsils, SDM offices for the welfare of people by ensuring good governance at people’s door steps, Rattan Lal questioned that what BJP has done to provide succor to the people? 

He said today 165 public health centres of Jammu Province  are confronting acute shortage of medicos with many not even having sub-ordinate staff even many dispensaries of far falung areas are closed due to shortage of staff and infrastructure. The condition of Ayurvedic system in Jammu region is also in  worst condition.

“The situation of providing tapped water in the arid belts of Jammu region is also pathetic with Samba, Kathua and Jammu Districts being the worst example. He said that it is not proper despite the pitiable condition of things, the Government is patting its back in the name of Jal Jeevan Schemes, which in actuality are total failures. 

 Gupta said that “Joblessness has broken all previous records and the recruitment agencies indulged in scams. There are thousands of govt  posts lying vacant, the government is sitting idle with no intention to advertise the same or refer to SSB or PSC to initiate the recruitment process of selection. The students are facing lots of problems as phlegmatic government even not able to make their exams centres to the CUET aspirants within J&K as they  have been forced by National Testing Agency to go out of J&K to take exams” in different states.

“The situation with regard to road mishaps due to dilapidated road condition in  Jammu region , specially  Doda, Kishtwar, Rajouri and Poonch  Districts is appalling but the government is busy in rhetoric claiming everything is best”, he said. The true facts are that nearly 150 people were killed and more than 1000 suffered injuries in over 850 road accidents reported between January to April this year across the Jammu region which speaks about the seriousness of government about road network in J&K in different states.

Mr Gupta accused the ruling dispensation for not respecting and showing serious concern towards the issues raised by the opposition which is a matter of grave concern as it undermines the basic principles of democracy. The opposition is the “ soul of democracy” as it challenges the wrong decisions of the ruling party so that citizens can get the best decisions for their welfare. Thus, running a government without respecting democracy is in fact a hypocracy.

Rattan Lal said that the present regime is working arbitrarily and undemocratically as the anti people decision on property tax was taken by the LG administration without consulting the elected representatives of  local bodies. He said, adding that the list of failures of BJP Government has virtually become endless because hardly there is any field where it has not achieved failure of worst kind.
