| Appreciate Amit Shah's admission on misgovernance, rejection of BJP in Jammu: Rana | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, June 24: National Conference Provincial President Devender Singh Rana on Sunday appreciated BJP National President Amit Shah's candid admission on PDP-BJP government's betrayal with Jammu and Ladakh regions and rejection of his party by the people of Jammu region.
"Amit Shah showed immense degree of realism by saying on the death anniversary of Dr Shyama Prasad Mookherji in Jammu that the BJP was ready to sit in opposition and now it is incumbent upon his party's 25 MLAs to voluntarily quit and pave the way for election of genuine representatives of the people," Rana said while replying a question on the demand of National Conference for dissolution of Legislative Assembly at a press conference at Sher-e-Kashmir Bhavan here this evening. He said the BJP President has gone on record saying that the just ended coalition government failed in satiating the urges and aspirations of the people of Jammu and therefore his party's lawmakers have a moral obligation to quit. He, however, disagreed with Amit Shah's contention that the BJP had aligned with the PDP for national interest and pulled out of the government keeping in view the national interest. He said Shah is perhaps mistaking BJP interest as national interest.
Rana also questioned the arguments put-forth by Amit Shah over non-accomplishment of developmental agenda during the misgovernance of 1120 days misrule since March 2015 and asked why the coalition failed in setting up of AIIMS and three Medical Colleges in the Jammu region despite health ministry being presided over by BJP ministers Lal Singh and Bali Bhagat. He (Shah) cannot show helplessness with regard to SMART City project as the Housing and Urban Development ministry was headed by his party's stalwart Dr Nirmal Singh as Deputy Chief Minister. Dr Singh also failed in flagging off the BJP's much trumpeted Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana with not a single penny spent in Jammu and Kashmir. Similarly the BJP minister failed in completing the Artificial Lake Project, taken up during the tenure of Omar Abdullah as Chief Minister. Almost same was the fate of Tawi River Front Project for which Dr Nirmal Singh visited Gujarat and brought a team to have it accomplished on the pattern of Sabarmati Project, he added. The Provincial President referred to the plight of the border dwellers and said not a single commitment was kept with them. He said the failure in keeping the promise of allotting five marla plots was attributed to the army's denial on having these due to security reasons, which the latter vehemently refuted. He said against the recommendation of Rs 9025 crores by the Omar led government, the Centre sanctioned just Rs 2000 crore for one time settlement of PoK refugees and it is yet to be told as to how much of these paltry funds have been released and provided to the targeted refugees. |
