None of BJP Ministers or MLAs raise voice of people in LA in last 3½ years

Early Times Report
Jammu, Aug 12: Anguished over the evanescing Dogra heritage and culture due to the failure of the BJP to rake up and realize the Jammu centric issues during its tenure in the coalition government, . Harsh Dev Singh Chairman JKNPP and former Minister lambasted the Saffron party for its despicable wholesale servile surrenders before the Kashmiri leadership for the loaves of power. He was addressing a public meeting at Mastgarh in Ward No. 3 in old Jammu city.
While addressing the gathering, . Harsh Dev Singh said that the people of Jammu region had voted BJP to power with an overwhelming mandate in the last Assembly elections but unfortunately none of the its Ministers or MLAs could raise the voice of the people in the Assembly in the last three and a half years. Drawing the attention of the local residents towards the pathetic plight of the K.L Saigal memorial erected at the Chowk named after him in Ward No. 3, he rebuked the local MLA for ignoring and disregarding a Dogra icon who was considered as first super star of Indian film industry.
"The painful sight of the memorial tells the tragic tale of the fading Dogra identity from our soil. If K.L Saigal memorial could not be repaired during the BJP rule then we should not keep any hope about the realization of big promises and dreams doled out to us by the Saffron brigade", lamented Harsh. He further regretted that the BJP had despicably failed to declare 23rd Sept as State holiday on Maharaja Hari Singh's birthday despite the resolution been adopted in the State's Legislative Council which had immensely dented Dogra pride and honour.
Accusing the BJP for being hand in glove with the PDP to appease the secessionists in the erstwhile alliance, Mr. Harsh Dev Singh dubbed the BJP's criminal silence over the delay in restoration of Mubarak Mandi Heritage Complex as deep rooted conspiracy to erase Dogra culture. "The shabby look of the historical Mubarak Mandi besides uncertainty over its fate had triggered anger among the local people against the authorities with the apprehension that the policy of delay and deny in the restoration work of the complex was being purposely adopted to wipe out the pristine glory of the Dogra rule and to turn the building into ruins", angry Harsh said.
Lashing out severely on BJP for criminally aborting the construction of 'Artificial Lake' in Jammu besides shelving other projects, Mr. Singh said that the shameful acquiescence of the Saffron party over the most coveted project had taken a toll on Jammu's much hyped beautification drive. Asserting that Jammu's cause shall be fought tooth and nail, he said that Panthers Party shall not relent and resort to severe agitation unless all the projects were turned into reality.
