Inflation, unemployment, ‘killer’ taxes gifts of BJP Govt: Rattan Lal Gupta

EARly Times REport

JAMMU, Oct 15: Skyrocketing inflation, hike in power tariff, ‘killer’ taxes, insensitive attitude towards people’s problems are the gifts and achievements of the BJP Government. This was stated by Rattan Lal Gupta, Provincial President J&K National Conference in a handout issued to media persons.
The senior NC leader raised the issue of unprecedented hike in the prices of essential commodities including vegetables, edible oil, LPG, petrol, diesel, etc. He said that instead of creating new jobs as was promised, the government even failed to ensure the livelihood of poor people as hundreds have lost employability avenues due to mismanagement by the government during Covid times. He said that for the kind information of BJP leadership, J&K, over which they never get tired of trumpeting about their success, has the highest rate of unemployment but the local and the central dispensations are busy in bogus rhetoric about prosperity.
The senior NC leader accused the BJP Government of being apathetic towards common masses as during such a time when people don’t have money to buy vegetables and grains, it has revised power tariff considerably worsening the situation of masses, as if it is taking revenge from them for giving votes to the party. He also cited the 5 percent raise in the GST on essential commodities at a time when per capita income is dwindling day by day and making new records.
The Provincial President said that despite knowing the fact that India’s economy’s backbone is farming sector, J&K is showing no concern in safeguarding the interests of farmers. He gave the example of broken portion of Ranbir Canal at village Dharap for the last over two-three months. He said that government is so phlegmatic that after passing of about three months the small portion of the canal has not been repaired making is suicidal for the farmers having paddy fields beyond that point in the R S Pura and other tehsils as they totally rely on canal water for the Basmati crop during the monsoon season. He said that due to indifference of the government the hopes of the farmers have been dashed to ground as crores of rupees have been lost due to this kind of carelessness shown by the concerned department and those sitting at helm in J&K.
Rattan Lal Gupta demanded that the government should immediately depute special teams to assess the damages of paddy and compensate the affected farmers as the responsibility of devastation of crops lies with the government which failed to provide canal water to the tiller community. He however asked the people of the State to have a look at the past and see for themselves that NC governments always gave preference to the demands of farmers and never in the history such a crisis was allowed to happen, which the so-called well-wisher government of Jammu region has allowed due to non-seriousness and immaturity.
