Speaking on the occasion, Bhalla exhorted the public to throw the BJP-led alliance from power, and with it, Modi’s ‘dictatorship.’ “History is witness, whenever there has been a revolution in the country, it has started from the brave land of J&K. The campaign to end the dictatorship from this country should begin from J&K,” he said, adding, he was sure of a clean sweep in J&K and ultimate victory of the I.N.D.I.A. bloc.Referring to the BJP manifesto, Bhalla said all of Modi’s ‘guarantees’ are fake. “Earlier, a guarantee was given by them that Rs 15 lakh will be deposited in every person’s account, also of giving two crore jobs every year but they never came good on those guarantees,” he said and asked the public to repose their faith in ‘Congress Guarantee.
Commenting on the tenure of the BJP govt in J&K, Bhalla said instead of asking for votes, the party should seek forgiveness of the public. “Instead of making empty speeches, the govt should look at the statistics that show the BJP turned the most prosperous state in the country, before 2014, to backward state in J&K. He criticized J&K government for increasing poverty, unemployment, and debt. He questioned the government’s performance and impact on the public, demanding accountability and justifications for the state’s issues.
Bhalla criticizes BJP for wanting to alter the Constitution and limit people’s rights. He condemned the use of religion in politics and emphasizes the importance of traditions. He lashed out at BJP for the sufferings of the people as he said Jammu region suffered the most under ten years of BJP regime. He said Dogras lost their identify & rights to land, jobs, trade and resources which are being taken over by outside people leaving locals high & dry.
Urging people to measure the loss to the coming generations who shall face very difficult times and identity crisis besides going out in search of jobs & bread and butter, Bhalla asked people to vote out BJP from centre to reverse the trend. He appealed to the people to vote for change and uproot the dictatorial regime of BJP. The peoples participation in large numbers shows the mood of the people and claimed that both Lok Sabha seats of Jammu and Udhampur will be pocketed by the Congress party with thumping majority. The people have made up their mind to bring about change at the Centre and Modi Govt. will go after elections and INDIA block will form the Govt.
Bhalla said that BJP stands exposed before the people on various fronts as the people have awakened against the divisive policies of the BJP. The Congress party has taken a lead to fight against the tyrannical regime of BJP which has amassed huge wealth through electoral bond scheme while the entire opposition is being targeted by the Modi Govt. He said that Prime Minister Modi and BJP know they are getting defeated, so indulging in such tactics but people will teach them a lesson. Bhalla hit out at the BJP for the betrayal of the people of Jammu region in every sphere as a result there has been tremendous response to Congress in both seats. He said that every section of Jammu be it youth, farmers, traders, workers, women, are hard pressed and against the policies of the BJP Govt and the failures of the local representatives to redress their grievances.

He said that UPA Govt had launched various policies and welfare programmes for the upliftment of poor and down trodden sections of the society and strengthened the nation by establishing peace, progress and prosperity as a result the India emerged as a strong nation.

After experiencing over 10 years full of miseries due to wrong economic policies of the BJP government, the people are so fed up, that, now, they have made up their mind to defeat BJP and bring back Congress and olden days, which were free from such economic oppressions.
