EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu, June 4: J&K unit of BJP, which is being ridiculed by everyone in Jammu province and dismissed as a party of "self-seekers, has declared that it would start a campaign in Jammu against the employment policy of the state government, saying the recruitment policy is anti-Jammu. None in Jammu would take seriously the warning administered by the BJP. For, the Dogras have finally come to believe that the BJP is just "incompetent and incapable" of fighting for their genuine cause, as "most of its leaders and legislators have already compromised their ideology in order to remain in the good books of Kashmiri masters."
The Dogras just cannot be questioned for what may be termed as their hostile attitude towards the BJP and its leadership. The reason is simple and the reason is that the BJP has been bartering the legitimate rights of the Dogras, particularly since 1998, when the BJP formed a ragtag National Democratic Alliance (NDA) after compromising its ideology or abandoning its age-old agenda (abrogation of Article 370 and adoption uniform civil code) to capture power in New Delhi and enjoy the loaves and fishes of office.
In 1998, the BJP legislators opposed on the floor of the assembly the official bill that sought the establishment of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University. The government of the time had introduced this bill under pressure from the Dogras, particularly the student community. In 2002, all the 8 BJP legislators gave their unstinted to the official bill that banned delimitation of the assembly constituencies for decades. In 2008, a section of the BJP sought to sabotage the Amarnath land movement in order to placate Governor Narinder Nath Vohra and please the regressive forces in the Valley. So much so that one of the top-ranking local BJP leaders refused to share a platform from where a demand for the recall of Governor Vohra was to be made.
Some very credible sources have also revealed that "at least two BJP legislators had expressed themselves in favour of the move of the Union Government to appoint Amitabh Mattoo as Vice-Chancellor of the Jammu Central University." According to these sources, their opinion was that "there was none in Jammu who was capable of becoming the Vice-Chancellor." That the BJP has maintained silence on this issue does suggest that what the sources have revealed could be correct. Likewise, the BJP has not taken up the issue of Dogra certificate. It did make a couple of statements immediately after the state government withdrew the Dogra certificate order on April 28 and that was all.
The BJP cannot fool and hoodwink the Dogras anymore. The Dogras have understood what the stuff the BJP is made of and what it stands for. The BJP leadership will have to work very hard to conciliate them. But it is a very difficult task. Even otherwise, it is not in a position to undertake any activity because most of the BJP leaders are busy in tarnishing the image of each other by exposing each other's misdeeds. It is weak organizationally and it has leadership that cannot carry any conviction with the Dogras. As for the BJP 11 MLAs, less said the better. Suffice it to say that the Dogras do not really trust them and that they are bemoaning the mistake they committed by electing them in 2008. What an irony! |
