Early Times Report
UDHAMPUR, May 1: BJP's legislator from Chenani constituency, Dina Nath Bhagat, has come down heavily on his party leaders, accusing them of being power hungry and surrendering to their alliance partner PDP.
Talking to Early Times, Bhagat said that reshuffle of BJP ministers in the Mehbooba Mufti-led government "is just an eyewash to show the common masses that everything is fine in government."
But the fact is that, he said, the BJP leaders have surrendered to the PDP. "Their reputation has fallen and now they want to save their reputation," he said.
"The PDP-BJP government has failed on all fronts; the discrimination with Jammu region continues; there are no jobs for educated youth of Jammu province; and no development is taking place in Jammu province," he added.
Bhagat also alleged that backdoor entries in government jobs continued in Kashmir Valley where the youth get jobs through backdoor.
He also targetted new Deputy Chief Minister Kavinder Gupta for saying that the Kathua rape-murder is a small incident. "I want to ask a question to Deputy CM. Is Rassana a small case where a 8-year-old girl was brutally raped and murdered? I think wrong people have been arrested while the main culprits are still at large, or someone wants to protect the real culprits in the rape case."
Bhagat also sought CBI probe in the Rassana case. He said that when the BJP sent its two ministers to join the agitation in Kathua after which the duo was left to fend for itself. "Unko bali ka bakra bana diya (they were made sacrificial lambs," he said.
The MLA said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has done good work in the Centre but the BJP in J&K is "not doing good work."
"The BJP-PDP coalition is anti-Dalit. I have said so many times," Bhagat said, adding that the government should have inducted at least two Scheduled Castes in the Cabinet as the BJP had won all seven seats reserved for SCs in 2014 Assembly elections.
Bhagat said the BJP lost Udhampur constituency seat in 2014 "due to wrong decision by the high command of state BJP. I always say at the party meetings that if BJP wants to win all the three seats of Udhampur district then give mandate to Pawan Gupta from Udhampur constituency, Pawan Khajuria from Ramnagar constituency."
Bhagat alleged that reserved category employees had been demanding promotion in reservation but the government had adopted a casual approach. He said from 2003, after his retirement as a Range Officer of the Forest Department, he had been working to strengthen the party and will continue to do so.
"I will not leave the party, I will do my work. JK BJP leaders are always power hungry," he added. |
