From AIIMS to Artificial Lake Project BJP surrendered Jammu’s interest: Cong
“Many developmental works which were taken up by the Congress during its rule in the State have been shunned like one prestigious artificial Lake Project on Jammu Tawi River,” he alleged.
Accusing Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) of turning blind eyes towards the problems of Jammu, Congress today alleged that from AIIMS to Tawi Lake saffron party has surrendered Jammu’s interest before Kashmir.
Addressing a gathering at Vijaypur former minister and Pradesh Congress Committee, general secretary, Manjit Singh said that BJP and PDP have different ideologies despite that they have joined hands for the sake of power.
“BJP has compromised its own ideology of one flag, one constitution which were the roots of the party. This party divided people in Jammu division on communal lines and got votes in the assembly elections securing 25 seats,” he said, adding that now when they have joined Government as coalition of PDP, the saffron party has not worked for the people.
“Many developmental works which were taken up by the Congress during its rule in the State have been shunned like one prestigious artificial Lake Project on Jammu Tawi River,” he alleged.
He said that the AIIMS which was sanctioned for Jammu was taken by the PDP to Kashmir but ruling partner BJP remained mum over the issue.
On the name of premier health institution, he said, the state has been again put on the edge with divisive politics of the saffron party which the Congress party will expose time to time.
Regarding farmers, he said, the worst suffering was the farmers whose crops were damaged in heavy rains yet they were not given any compensation.
Taking dig at central government, with in one year BJP has hiked the prices of all the essential commodities, and the service tax has also been increased forcing the common man to face suffering.
“The Modi Government belongs to corporate as they have not worked for the common masses. On the one hand their policies support business community and big houses, and on the other the farmers let to the mercy of God by snatching their land without taking his consent,” he added.
Singh reminded that UPA Government had initiated many schemes for the welfare of the poor section of the society and same section has been neglected by the Modi Government leading to “mistrust” and “anger” among the people against BJP Government.
One rank and one pension, he said, UPA Government had kept money for the soldiers after a cabinet decision but the Modi Government has again adopted negligence.
“One rank-one pension policy should be adopted for the welfare of the Army forces. However, the Modi Government seems not doing anything to implement the policy for the welfare of the Army,” he said.
