| BJP has dwarfed Jammu: Harsh Dev | | |  EARLY TIMES REPORT
CHENANI, Sept 8: “Despite the tall promises made by the BJP to declare holding for 23rd September as a tribute to the legendary ruler, Maharaja Hari Singh, the nationalist people were a demoralized lot even after seven years of saffron rule in the country.
The loud mouthed, over weight leaders of BJP had given repeated assurances to the people during Parliament as well as Assembly Elections in 2014 and thereafter as well that the most coveted demand of holiday on the birthday of the legendary Dogra ruler would be conceded immediately after their ascendance to power. It was however shocking to note the U-turns taken by the BJP regime over the issue like various other election time promises made with people of Jammu region which too evaporated into the thin air after their climbing the ladder of power”. This was stated by Harsh Dev Singh Chairman-JKNPP and former Minister while addressing public meetings in Jig, Chak Morh and Garsoli villages in Chenani constituency today.
Pointing towards the continued neglect and deprivation of Jammu region even post Art 370 abrogation, Singh regretted that the Dogra land continued to be divested of its due share in jobs, development, funds allocation etc. And while Ladakh and Kashmir continued to receive the focused attention of the central govt, the incarcerated land of Dogras has been made to content with whatsoever little falls in its kitty.
Alleging the disregard of Jammu region even in the last Budget for 2021-22, Singh said that the major development and tourism related projects of Jammu region had once again been ignored, regretted Singh.
“People of Jammu are used for vote bank politics with hardly any regard for their sentiments. The centre has all along been focused on Kashmir with Jammu made to reconcile with second class status. And the tradition continues even after Article 370 abrogation. Kashmir still continues to be pampered by the Union govt,” asserted Singh.
Not only has the BJP compromised with the interest of Jammu region but has dwarfed its people by playing with their self respect and dignity also, said Singh. He said that denial of holiday on 23rd September in particular would cost the saffron party its postal address in the days to come.
