RAJOURI, Apr 22:
Javed Ahmed Rana, President JKNC Pir Panjal Zone, and former Legislator, has sharply criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for its apparent disconnect from the ground realities of the Jammu region, highlighting BJP’s failure to address genuine issues faced by the people and its neglect of basic necessities such as water, power, healthcare, and education.
Addressing a public meeting in Doongi area of Rajouri, Javed Rana emphasized the dire situation faced by the public in the absence of an elected government, where day-to-day problems remain unaddressed. “It is most unfortunate that common people have no medium to raise their voice for their basic necessities due to the neglect of the BJP government,” he remarked. He lamented the lack of avenues for the populace to express their concerns, leading to frustration and agitation. “The people are left with no option but to come onto the streets to express their anger and seek redressal of their genuine grievances,” he added. Furthermore, the senior NC leader underscored the BJP’s failure to fulfill its mandate in the Jammu region since 2014. He pointed out that the BJP had not effectively carried forward projects initiated by previous governments, both at the state and central levels. As a result, infrastructure upgrades and essential supply schemes have either stalled or progressed at a snail’s pace, exacerbating hardships for the people of Jammu, he added.
Javed Rana emphasized the significance of the INDI alliance as the sole solution to address the myriad challenges facing the region.
“Today, more than ever, we need a cohesive approach to overcome the challenges that confront us. The INDI alliance represents the collective strength and resolve of parties committed to the welfare and progress of Jammu & Kashmir,” he added.
The former Legislator urged the people of the region to throw their support behind the NC candidate in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. “By supporting the NC candidate, we can ensure that our voices are heard and our interests are represented in the highest echelons of governance,” he added.
Javed Rana called upon the people of Pir Panjal to unite under the banner of the INDI alliance and to cast their vote in favor of the NC candidate in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Today’s meeting was organised by NC Leader Mian Mahrooz Ahmed in which District President Rajouri Shafait Khan, Shafakat Mir, Riyaz Choudhary, Nazir Hussain, Mian Sheraz Azhari also spoke on the occasion.
