Jammu/Rajouri/Kathua, Dec 17: Leader of Opposition (LoP) in RajyaSabha and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister GhukamNabi Azad on Wednesday said that even after putting it's all out efforts by roping in entire Union Cabinet, BJP will not be able touch double digit in ongoing Assembly elections here in the state.
Addressing impressive public rallies in Kotranka, Manjakote, Billawar, BasohliHiranagar, Suchetgarh and Jammu West Assembly Segments, in favour of party candidates Mohammad Iqbal Malik, Shabir Khan, Dr Manohar Lal Sharma, Jagdish Raj Sapolia, Girdhari Lal Chalotra, R S Chib and Surinder Singh Shinghaari, former Chief Minister GhulamNabi Azad came down heavily on central BJP leadership and pointed out that BJP has resorted to all ways and means to hoodwink the people of the state in the ongoing Assembly elections. But it will not be going to yield any fruitful results for BJP.
"Dozens of Bollywood Actors and Actresses have been dropped from Mumbia and New Delhi to spread mis-information campaign against Congress. They have nothing in their kitty to tell about their achievements but have just one agenda to spread hatred against Congress party and divide the people on caste and religion lines," pointed out Azad further added that "even after exhausting all of its resources, it has failed to create any sort of impact at the ground level in Jammu and Kashmir.
"Saying that BJP is making castles in air when it claims of achieving Mission 44+, former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister, Azad amidst public applause added, "In last four phases of polls, people of Kashmir rejected BJP's ideology by turning up at polling booths in heavy numbers. "Now, when polling in majority of Assembly segments has been completed and BJP leadership too has realized its defeat, it is trying to pump in all types of resources just to hoodwink the people to fetch few seats in fifth and final phase," he added
Azad further asserted that the way people have reposed faith in Congress it has become crystal clear that either Congress will form the next government at its own or it will lead the coalition.Countering BJP's allegations against Congress for not doing any development in Jammu and Kashmir, Congress stalwart, Azad said, "During my tenure of chief minister, equitable and time bound developmental works were initiated and completed." "Who ensured timely completion and functioning of two important Super Specialty Hospitals-one in Jammu and another Kashmir valley, on the pattern of AIIMS? Who laid hundreds of kilometers long highways and national highways in J&K? Who started four lane works on Jammu-Srinagar national highway? Who executed railway line from Jammu to Srinagar via Udhampur, Katra and RajouriPoonch? Who gave Five Medical Colleges and five Cancer Care Institutes to J&K?", Azad questioned.He urged the people to vote Congress party to power to further development all the three regions and eight sub-regions of the state.
AICC general secretary and in-charge, J&K Affairs, Mrs Ambika Soni, who was also accompanying Azad, took a dig at BJP and sought to know what positive and pro-poor people initiatives have been taken by BJP government at center in past six months. "Inflation is still a suffering for lower and middle class. BJP promises to kill down inflation. Why it has failed to fulfill its commitment which it had given during general elections, she said
Cautioning the people against divisive policies of BJP, Mrs Soni urged the gathering "If Congress is voted to power, it will keep women empowerment and new employment avenues for educated unemployment youths of the state among top priorities.PCC president, Professor Saif-Ud-Din Soz also addressed the gatherings and maintained that Congress is contesting elections on development plank.. |
