| BJP wooing disgruntled PDP, NC leaders show bankruptcy: Harsh | | |
Early Times Report
Jammu, Feb 29: Accusing the BJP of hobnobbing with defectors of PDP and NC in order to strengthen its base in Kashmir, Harsh Dev Singh, Chairman-JKNPP and former Minister said that the Saffron party had proved once again that it could go to any extent to gain access to the seat of power.
There have been several reports of BJP leadership meeting the disgruntled and ousted leaders of Kashmir based parties and wooing them for a possible alliance notwithstanding their uninspiring antecedents. It was interesting to note those leaders who were the pioneers of the slogans of self-rule and autonomy were being embraced by BJP and preferred for a possible partnership in the upcoming political system in the State. He was addressing huge public meetings in Bantalab and Patoli villages in Raipur-Domana Constituency. “Politics makes strange bed fellows. And BJP has proved it time and again. It entered into alliance with PDP despite tall announcements made during 2014 elections to demolish the father-daughter (Bapp-Beti) party and conceded the chair of CM for full term to PDP. It jettisoned its core philosophy only to be junior partner in PDP led govt. Those projected as monsters during elections were accepted by it as its mentors. And after the demise of Mufti Sayeed, it literally begged before Mehbooba Mufti to lead the govt. by allowing them to continue in their second fiddle capacity in the govt. After the collapse of PDP-BJP coalition, its leadership projected another Kashmir based leader of Peoples Conference to head the govt. which fortunately did not fructify in view of dissolution of the Legislative Assembly. And now the same party was trying to promote some disgruntled politicians of PDP and NC with whom it could stitch on alliance in future so as to capture power in J&K” asserted Singh.
Describing the BJP’s latest move as another shocker in the gory list of BJP’s opportunist politics, Singh said that it’s mindless wooing of ex-PDP and NC leaders only revealed its bankruptcy. Having lost its ground in Jammu it was desperately trying to bring in its fold those who had been discarded, disowned and ousted by PDP and other Kashmir based parties, regretted Singh. “The BJP must remember that these are the leaders who have abandoned the very parties which game them name, fame and power. They are merely defectors. A chair changer can’t be a game changer. And the lotus shall never bloom in Kashmir. The earlier the BJP appreciates this fact the better will it be for the Saffron brigade. In a bid to appease Kashmir, the BJP has disappointed and lost is core constituency of Jammu as well. Its political ambitions have lit fires that will take months and years to subside” said Singh. Asserting that BJP had lost its sheen and steam, Singh appealed the people of Jammu to support their own regional party which alone could navigate the people of Dogra land. Prominent among those who spoke on the occasion included Surinder Chouhan, Kuldeep Singh Manhas, Vinay Bhola, Romal Chandan, Ramesh Khana, Rinku Choudhary, Anil Choudhary, Om Parkash, Rattan Lal, Tarseem Sharma, Pawan Singh, Gurdeep Singh Raju besides others. |
