Raghubir Singh Bali, AICC Secretary and Incharge West Bengal on Tuesday said that people of Jammu and Kashmir and elsewhere are fed-up with lies-riddle policies and misrule of BJP and longing for a change.
This was stated by the senior Congress leader while addressing media after he was accorded rousing reception by NSUI and Youth Congress activists on his maiden visit to UT after taking up the charge of AICC Secretary. Bali reached Temple City on a personal visit to the demise of a close relative.
Bali said that the BJP leadership is only proficient in selling lies which it did very well in J&K also. He said that problems which the people of trouble-torn J&K were facing since long have been increased manifold under the BJP government with no respite coming to sight in near future.
Bali said that his sole aim is to accomplish the mission set in by the Congress’ tall leader Rahul Gandhi in providing succour to masses by way of rendering selfless service and highlighting the misdeeds of ruling party at the centre. He said issues which the common man is confronting right now are mainly due to BJP’s thoughtless push to directionless policies.
“Unprecedented hike in fuel prices, ruthless farm bills, diplomacy at lowest ebb with China, Nepal and Pakistan, inflation touching new heights, democratic institutions facing threat, and what not”, he said is the gift of BJP to people, adding that it was Rahul Gandhi who raised these issues vociferously and forced ruling party to go on back foot many times. He said people now can well gauge the difference between BJP’s ‘Achhe Din’ and that of Congress’, which cared for common masses and Rahul Gandhi always remained on forefront to ameliorate difficulties of people by reaching out to them and understanding their agony.
Under BJP Government, the AICC Secretary said that people have become so much restless that even a day is not passed when region doesn’t witness a protest or demonstration against the anti-people policies of BJP government in the Centre or its remote controlled operated administration in J&K.
Bali make it a point that not only J&K but other states across the country are also yearning for the change as BJP has done nothing on ground except crafting new ‘Jumlas’ on all the issues which concern common man. Bali said that bundles of lies which BJP wanted to rely on during polls are dangerously boomeranging in West Bengal as there are no takers out there and the saffron brigade is in a fix.
“The condition of BJP in Punjab and Haryana is also dismal as common masses have boycotted their leaders and in some cases blocked their entries into their hamlets and villages”, he said adding that Congress being a party of principles is all set to shine in West Bengal and other states going in for polls. He said that the ground report in J&K is also very encouraging as far as Congress party is concerned and in case of BJP which is already on decline in J&K, the leadership of party seems to be well prepared for forfeiting their bail bonds in the ensuing elections.
Those who accorded welcome to R.S Bali include Neeraj Kundan National President NSUI, Shahnawaz Choudhary DDC Member PCC General Secretary, Uday Chib PYC President, Jatinder Singh BCC President, Ajaz Choudhary State Vice President PYC, Sunny Parihar NSUI President JK, Ricky, Abhijot Singh PYC General Secretaries, Latish Sharma Secretary PYC and Happy DYC President.
