 Early Times Report
Udhampur, May 5 : After the seizure of its symbol by ECI in pursuance of a conspiracy hatched by BJP and its stooges, the Panthers Party led by Harsh Dev Singh has been allotted a new name and symbol by the apex poll body of the country. The Panthers Party headed by Harsh Dev Singh has now been re-christened as J&K National Panthers Party (INDIA) and has been allotted the symbol of ‘Truck’ by the Election Commission of India. This was stated by the Party Chief Harsh Dev Singh at a press conference held in Udhampur today where he vowed to oppose, expose and finally depose the saffron regime for its politics of duplicity, deceit and debauchery.
Maintaining that BJP had lost the confidence of the people in view of its multiple betrayals, Mr. Singh said that it had no right to continue in office. He said that having dismantled the oldest historical dogra state of J&K and downgraded it to UT level, the BJP govt had extended several draconian laws to it without the nod of legislature. Opening of multiple Toll Plazas and limitless Liquor shops and Bars, introduction of Smart meter, enactment of Property tax, sky-rocketing prices of essentials, burgeoning employment, patronized all pervasive corruption, settlement of Beharis and UP people in UT and politics of hate seemed to be the only notable achievements of BJP rule, said Mr. Singh.
While rising prices had made the lives of people miserable, the BJP govt was resorting to extortion in the form of increased cesses, duties, tolls and taxes. Several Toll Plazas had been installed in the Jammu region to loot the people of their marginal incomes despite the condition of roads being highly pathetic. He said that Sarore Toll Plaza and Ban Toll Plazas had been assured to be removed by BJP including its central leaders which however turned out to be mere hyperboles. And contrarily the Toll was enhanced at Lakhanpur, Ban and Nashri plazas thereby causing massive resentment amongst the general masses.
Likewise, the opening of several liquor shops despite people’s opposition in the cities of temples had further created massive resentment amongst the locals particularly the womenfolk. And while the region faced chronic crisis in power and water sectors, the govt came up with the proposal of installation of Smart meters as if to rub salt on the wounds of people, said Mr. Singh.
Harsh Dev said that having failed to redeem its promises, the BJP was now indulging in divisive politics and creating hatred by invoking caste, colour, creed and religion in the affairs of govt thereby denting its own reputation beyond redemption. It needed to be dismissed lock, stock & barrel, said Mr. Singh and urged upon the people to support and strengthen JKNPP (INDIA) and make J&K ‘BJP mukt”. |
