Early Times Report
JAMMU, Dec 24: Humbly accepting party's defeat in the assembly elections JKPCC President, Prof Saif-ud-Din Soz today said that people of Jammu region got swayed away with the 'polarization' card of Modi and forgot the 'work done' for the welfare of masses by the Congress.
Talking to Early Times JKPCC chief said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to Jammu to 'divide people on the name of region and religion'.
"Modi's polarization card overshadowed the developmental work carried out by the Congress leaders in the state," claimed JKPCC chief and added that Congress had no means to counter 'polarization trend' of the saffron party.
Prof Soz added that BJP made inroads by raking up several sensitive issues, which were considered prone to disturb 'communal harmony' in the state and succeeded in polarizing the voters.
"Due to their divisive politics, there is a total wipe-out of non-Muslim Congress electoral in the Jammu region which is a matter of serious concern as it indicates that state is heading towards politics of extremism which is dangerous for the democracy and secularism of the State," Soz asserted.
Soz, however, added that they (people) did not regard the service of the Congress leaders, especially in the Jammu region. "We have nothing to defend, as people of the region voted against us. They voted in favour of divisive forces by sidelining our year's long service and goodwill," regretted PCC chief, adding that they respect the mandate of the people.
He categorically said, "We accept the verdict of the people. They have voted for change, after 12 years of our government in the state. But I am disturbed with the defeat of two star candidates of the party from Jammu region, Raman Bhalla and Sham Lal.'
"Both leaders represented the aspirations of the people of Jammu region strongly, especially from their respective constituencies," Soz lamented.
However, apparently unfazed by another rout after the Lok Sabha Polls, Prof Soz said that Congress will definitely go for self-introspection and will work hard to regain the confidence of the people.
It is pertinent to mention here that Congress managed to secure only 12 seats in the state, with five from Jammu region against 17 in 2008 elections. |
