Early Times Reporter Jammu | Jan 12 Stressing the need for strengthening the polling booth committees to win elections, the BJP State President Ashok Khajuria said these committees are the real strength of the party and maximum effort have to made to ensure that the services of these committees are utilized in a proper way. He was addressing a grand ‘Karyakarta Sammelan’ at Gajansoo organized by the Block committee Marh where 100 youth from Malkechak, Nandni, Karwal, Gho-Manhasa and Akalpur areas joined the party. In his hard hitting speech, Khajuria charged the Central and the State Government of surrendering before the anti-national elements and said that the soft approach towards militants and their supporters in and outside the government have encouraged these elements and demoralized those who have been sacrificing their lives in order to bring peace and normalcy in the state. He criticized the Finance Minister for his statement on separate currency for the state adding that the government has lost moral right to remain in power as its ministers are openly preaching sedition. He said the state has witnessed huge losses of precious lives and property during the last 18 years of militancy. He said it is not only the Pakistan but the ‘Jai Chands’ of Jammu, also who are responsible for all this. While the Kashmiri leaders are working in tune with the Pakistan, the Jammu based leaders of Congress are endorsing every act of the Kashmiri leaders for the sake of power and money. Khajuria also took the Congress-led coalitions to the task for their total failure to provide jobs to the unemployed youth, grant citizenship rights to the refugees of West Pakistan and those of 1965 and 1971, curb militancy and check sky rocketing prices. Urging the party activists and the public to support BJP, Khajuria expressed confidence that his party after registering splendid victories in Punjab, Gujrat and Himachal Pradesh, will surely form the next government in Jammu and Kashmir.
