Jammu, Apr 9: The 2014 general elections will determine the fate of the Indian nation, said Prof Hari Om, Political Advisor to State BJP President Jugal Kishore Sharma, here today while addressing a press conference aimed at underlining the historical significance of the ongoing electoral exercise. "It is the first and foremost duty of the Indian electorate, including the politically conscious voters of Jammu & Kashmir, Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs and Buddhists included, to exercise their franchise very carefully taking into consideration their own social, economic and political interests, as also the larger national interest," he said. "The elections this time are not an ordinary exercise. It is historic. The need of the nation and exigency of the hour is to install Narendra Modi as the PM so that the India becomes strong, prosperous and developed. The Congress-led UPA Government that has endangered the national security and burdened the people with price rise, corruption, scams, unemployment and politics of loot and plunder, has to be shown the door. People are looking for a credible alternative that could address their issues and provide political stability and a genuinely people-centric and democratic government. Narendra Modi is that credible alternative," said Prof Hari Om, and added that each and every voter must cast his/her vote to contribute to the Congress-free India movement launched by Narendra Modi and the BJP across the country. Prof Hari Om said that the parties like the Congress have no place in the nation's scheme of things as they only focus on fake secularism and divide the society, instead of addressing the people-related and the state-centric burning issues of price rise, inflation, poverty, unemployment and corruption. "To hide their utter failures and acts of omission and commission, they have been hiding under the guise of fake secularism and hoodwinking and misleading the people," he said, adding that their single point agenda is to grab political power by diverting the people's attention away from the real issues facing them. The Congress has no report card to place before the voters and it will only be a pale shadow of what it was after May 16, he asserted. |
