Amused over the BJP leaders begging for votes in their election rallies by politicizing the recent surgical strikes conducted by IAF, Mr. Harsh Dev Singh JKNPP Chairman and former Minister said that such noisy frolic had only evoked cynicism rather than appreciation. He ridiculed the loud chest thumping by BJP leadership over the air strikes with photos of IAF brave hearts used by them in their election campaigns for drawing political capital out of the same. “Such Jangle and rattle created by BJP is ludicrous. It only reveals your failure. Having failed to deliver when the reins of power lay in your own hands, you are now indulging in theatrics by claiming credit for the heroic exploits of our Armed forces only to hoodwink the people during the elections” said Harsh.
He was addressing public meetings in Keya, Majouri, Basantgarh, Jakhed segments in Udhampur Lok Sabha constituency here today.
Anguished over the hurt psyche of the people of Jammu region, Mr. Singh said the people of Jammu have been severely antagonized by the BJP’s shameful grovel before the Kashmir centric leaders and its successive compromises over the nationalist agenda in the valley for power.
“The release of thousands of subversives and stone-pelters, the announcement of rehabilitation policy for militants, silence over paltry share in recruitment for the youth of Jammu region, the appeasement of anti-national elements and separatists, the humiliation and disparagement of armed forces and martyrs, change of nomenclature of Hindu shrines and places, the dishonour to National flag, imposition of tax similar to ‘Jazia’ on helicopter services to pilgrimages, lathi charge on youth and women protesters seeking rights and justice, ignorance of farmers and border dwellers of Jammu province ,etc were the political sins committed by the BJP that would be avenged by the people now”, said Harsh.
Asserting that BJP had thrived on fallacious slogans and fake promises, Mr. Singh said Saffron Party was now indulging in tantrums and cock-a-hoop by claiming to have conducted surgical strikes.”BJP’s melodramatic rants now could never impress the people of Jammu region who were eagerly waiting to decimate it from the core constituency.
Why 23rd Sept was not declared as State holiday on Maharaja Hari Singh’s birthday during your tenure? Why is the fate of Mubarak Mandi heritage complex, Patnitop cable car project still hanging in balance? What compelled you to despicably abort the much hyped artificial Tawi Lake project? Why the tourism was not developed in Sudh Mahadev and Mantalai despite having tremendous potential? Why the holy Mansar, Dalsar and Surinsar Lakes were not developed like the water bodies in the valley? , Harsh questioned BJP on local issues.
“Support and strengthen Panthers Party in the Parliamentary elections which alone could restore the pride and honour of the Dogras”, appealed Harsh.
