| BJP govt a disappointment on multiple fronts: Nagma | | |  Early Times Report
JAMMU, Feb 9: Terming the BJP Government a 'disappointment' on multiple fronts, All India Mahila Congress General Secretary Incharge for J&K and renowned film actress, Nagma Arvind Moraji condemned PM Modi's recent speech in the Parliament for trying to shift blame on the Congress for today's problems in an attempt to avoid addressing their failures and the real concerns like inflation, unemployment and economic distress.
Addressing a press conference here today at Congress office at Shaheedi Chowk, Nagma highlighted various issues including Delimitation, raging unemployment, and other regional and national issues.
Speaking on the draft Delimitation report, she said that the proposal has serious discrepancies in terms of geographical continuity and population.
The leaked Preliminary Report of the Delimitation Commission has deeply disappointed the common people and the Commission should rightly be called the Devastation Commission. The Commission has failed so miserably that now BJP's own members have joined the movement to oppose the process. Earlier it was only opposition parties who raised their voice but now there is dissent within the BJP itself. A big example of that is on Monday over 200 of BJP workers tendered their resignation to register their protest against the proposed merger of Suchetgarh assembly constituency with RS Pura segment in Jammu district. The proposal seeks to bulldoze over the land & crumple all the unique identities and voices in J&K. Hopes were that the Delimitation would happen to broaden the scope of communication and connection. Improve on old Ways. But the sad reality is that no constitutional parameters have been used in making these decisions. It simply promotes the propaganda of the Bharatiya Janata Party, has strong communal undertones and seeks to divide. It is nothing but a trick to get electoral benefit, she said.
Reacting to PM Modi's Parliament speech, Nagma said that the Prime Minister did not address real concerns of the public that were raised by the opposition but continued with its old habit of attacking the Congress party. BJP's last-minute resort was to fall back on PM Modi's ability to ignore important concerns and distract the public by giving boastful speeches. People must see that PM Modi also crossed a line in the speech by attacking the party with cheap insults and below the belt jabs. His speech was extremely far-fetched, a rhetorical gimmick at best. He ignored the facts which prevent the real ground picture. The wealth of the 142 rich increased from Rs 23,14,000 crore to Rs 53,16,000 crore and the income of 84 percent households lost their incomes. 12 crore jobs gone, 23 crore helpless poor, death of 700 farmers, the income of farmers remaining at Rs 27 per day, 84 per cent households having reduced incomes, the highest inflation in 30 years, Rs 40-60 lakh compensation to those who died of Corona. These are the concerns PM Modi did not address and tried to fool the country once again with his oratory, she said.
Addressing the issue of privatization, the Bollywood actress said that the Government's privatization drive is not driven by reason and logic. The decision to privatize the PDD department's assets led to thousands of PDD workers protesting and going on long strikes.
Nagma also spoke on the rampant unemployment in J&K and criticized the Modi Government for not taking any steps for the remedial measures. Indu Pawar (Ex-MLA), President Pradesh Mahila Congress and several Congress Councillors accompanied Nagma in the presser. |
