| PDP-BJP coalition relies on falsehood, deceit: Bhalla | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 18: The Congress today accused the ruling PDP-BJP coalition government of failing to deliver the promises it made to the people of Jammu and Kashmir during and before the assembly elections. "The PDP-BJP government has lost the trust of the people, in a short span of 10 months, because of utter failure of the coalition to fulfill their tall claims during and after elections and their opportunist and contradictory stand on every important issue in the state," former Minister and senior Congress leader Raman Bhalla said while addressing a rally of party workers in Nanak Nagar area of Gandhi Nagar constituency today.
Bhalla accused the NDA government of "re-branding" or changing nomenclature of pro-people and development-oriented schemes of the previous UPA government to take credit. Citing the case of MNREGA, Congress leader and former minister said the BJP leadership had initially criticised it to malign the UPA government but the Modi government had to make a U-turn and was forced to celebrate its 10 years of completion because of the remarkable success and achievements of this scheme and its popularity amongst the rural poor. "Congress always launched pro-people and development- oriented schemes in the country and the BJP-led NDA government is only re-branding those schemes or changing nomenclature to take credit," said Bhalla.
Bhalla said the UPA government had laid emphasis on the health, education, connectivity of villages and jobs besides power projects based on nuclear energy, hydel and solar power. Results of these initiatives are visible in the country, he said, adding initiatives of the UPA-II in power sector would bring remarkable results in near future. |
