Jammu, Sept 18:
In a ruthless attack on the National Conference (NC), Senior BJP leader and party candidate for Jammu North segment, Sham Lal Sharma today said that this Kashmir based party has lost its credibility and ground even in the valley and will shrink to 12 to 15 seats only from Kashmir. It may not be able to open its account in the Jammu region.
Addressing a series of election meetings in Jammu north constituency, Sham said that NC’s Vice President and former Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah, who is fighting on two seats from Kashmir, himself is not confident to win even on one seat hence he has chosen to fight from two safe seats. In the current elections, the NC will face crushing defeat due to its poor performance and anti-people policies in Jammu Kashmir for decades together.
Coming heavily on NC President and former Chief Minister, Dr. Farooq Abdullah and Vice President, Omar Abdullah, Sham said that the duo got opportunities to serve the people for a maximum period, but they did not deliver on ground and cheated the people in the name of development and welfare. They only worked for their personal gains, party cadre, promoted communalism, regionalism, separatism and nepotism and misled the common people and blackmailed the Central government to seek free flow of funds. Now, they both are badly freighted from the results of elections and indulging in unnecessary propaganda on other political outfits in Jammu Kashmir, Sham asserted.
Sham further noted that people of Jammu Kashmir, particularly Valley have fed up from their hollow slogans, false promises and poor performance and will reject them totally and elect a new government headed by BJP which can only ensure good governance, peace, security and equitable development in Jammu Kashmir. People are badly inspired by the programmes and policies of Prime Minister Narender Modi and will give a clear cut mandate to BJP to form its exclusive government here.
Elaborating BJP’s agenda for the welfare of Jammu Kashmir, Sham said that the Central Government headed by Prime Minister Narendera Modi has taken several initiatives for restoring lasting peace and overall development for the past over one decade. After the abrogation of Article 370, there is substantial change in the situation on ground, law in order is almost normal and all developmental activities are going apace in all the districts normally, he added.
Prominent among those who accompanied and addressed the gathering included,Mandal Adhyaksh Rakesh Singh,Convenor Swatch Bharat Abhiyan Er. Dil Bahadur Singh,K D Singh,Ex Sarpanch’s Raj Dev Singh,Kuljeet Singh,Ritu Devi ,Hari Saran,BJP Leader Zorawar Singh.
