reasi, MAR 17:
Senior Congress leader accused the previous BJP Government which is befooling people of the State by its false claims of development.
Addressing Congress Workers Convention at Arnas here on Sunday, Congress candidate from Kathua-Udhampur and Doda Lok Sabha seat and former MLC, Vikramaditya Singh accused the former BJP Government of not fulfilling promises the party made in the last Lok Sabha as well as the Assembly poll campaigning.
Singh lashed out at BJP for abandoning people with their problems being related to the basic amenities during its nightmarish rule, saying the promises made during 2014 Parliamentary and Assembly elections proved just hoax. He said that BJP did nothing for the people except generating passions on religious and regional lines. He said the people have been living miserable life during the past more than four and half years, with nobody addressing their problems.
Vikramaditya Singh castigated the previous Government which has completely failed on its agendas of development. He said that the suffering of people has been increased manifolds due to the corruption.
“It is extremely shocking that the Narendra Modi Government, which came to power on the promise of eradicating corruption, is doing completely the opposite of that,” he said, adding that still the people are facing acute problems while dealing with government offices.
Vikramaditya Singh alleged that Jammu people are upset over BJP’s failure to address key issues of the region. “People of Reasi District voted overwhelmingly in support of BJP Party. People of the region who complain of “neglect” were hopeful that the party would restore their dignity and honour. But BJP has lost the trust of the people by ignoring their sentiments and aspirations of people of whole Jammu region,” he said, adding that the Jammu had sent 25 BJP MLAs to the Legislative Assembly but all of them seemed to have gone in forgetfulness and looked least interested in raising the issues which turn the skin of a common man in Jammu.
Singh reiterated that BJP after coming into the power lost the plot and its ministers were busy reaping the benefits of power.
Singh said that Congress alone can ensure equitable development in all three regions of the State while keeping a close focus on neglected, remote and backward areas. He said Congress represents each and every section, region and religion of the society and has the vision, policies and programs for the welfare and unification of people of different shades.
Singh called upon the people of Reasi District to vote for the Congress so that the new era of development would be started with a view to fulfil the aspirations of the people which has remain unfulfilled during the regime of BJP Government.
Senior Congress leaders and Ex-MLAs Aijaz Khan, Mumtaz Khan and Vikar Rasool were also present.
