| People fatigued with BJP rule, yearning for change: Harsh | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
KHOON, Dec 4: Asserting that the BJP govt’s claims of ushering a ‘new era of dawn’ post Article 370 abrogation has proved a farce, Harsh Dev Singh JKNPP Chairman and former Minister regretted that the erstwhile State had faced worst ever crisis during the last few years.
“The total collapse of health services in controlling the Corona pandemic in J&K, the Chinese build up in Ladakh with Pakistan continuing with its misadventures all across IB and LoC, crashing economy, back breaking inflation, soaring unemployment, resentment among farmers and border dwellers, non restoration of mobile 4G services affecting the students, traders and professionals, etc have made the situation from bad to worse in J&K”, said Singh.
He was addressing huge public meetings at villages Babey, Nagian, Mottu, and Chore-Panjian of DDC Khoon along with party candidate Manju Singh.
While addressing the gatherings, Harsh Dev Singh lambasted the GoI for its failure to flatten the curve of Corona pandemic which has not only brought the country on the second spot in the world in terms of community transmission but also exposed the vulnerability of the prevalent Health care system.
“J&K has seen sudden surge in the Corona cases with fatalities occurring every day. Govt. hospitals are in chaos and the total collapse of health services has raised the eyebrows over the functioning of the M&HE department. Referring to the border conflicts and political killings in the region, Singh rued that factual reports had laid bare the ground realities and punctured the government’s peace claims.
Ruing the country’s plunging economy with GDP falling to all time low, Singh said that back breaking inflation and rise in unemployment had brought the growth rate to the grinding halt.
He said that skyrocketing prices of fuel and essential commodities had robbed the pockets of the common man. He regretted that inflation had become a benchmark of BJP’s governance and looting people had always been its nasty motive.
Raising the issue of the farmers, Singh expressed concern over the highly undemocratic and authoritarian approach of the ruling party in Parliament in rushing through the farmers related bills. He expressed his anguish over the passage of three Agriculture related bills without holding any debate.
Manju Singh DDC candidate Khoon appealed the people to support Panthers Party open heartedly so that they could be bailed out from the present morass. She said that NPP was the only viable option for the people of Jammu region and the empowerment of Panthers Party would mean empowerment of the people.
Prominent among those who spoke on the occasion included Basharat Ali, Sunit Singh, Raj Pratap besides others.
