| Rahul, Priyanka misleading voters to capture UP | | Congress and Jammu | | Neha
Jammu, Feb 6: AICC president and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi's son Rahul Gandhi and daughter Priyanka Gandhi - who together have established their stranglehold over the Congress party -- have been campaigning in Utter Pradesh to capture power. Sonia Gandhi is also doing the same. One of their election planks - apart from promising religion-based reservation to the Muslims -- is vote the Congress party to power in the state so that the state government and the Congress government at the centre work in unison to "develop" the "underdeveloped" Uttar Pradesh. Their argument is that the state has suffered enormously during the past nearly 22 years because of the non-Congress rule. The Congress ruled Uttar Pradesh for nearly 42 years after 1947.
Both Priyanka and Rahul are misleading the voters in Uttar Pradesh. They are simply advocating the need for one party rule across the country. In fact, they have been working for the establishment Congress dictatorship in the country so that it could do things it has been doing at the centre to weaken India economically, politically and constitutionally. The argument of Priyanka and Rahul that the reemergence of the Congress rule in Uttar Pradesh is necessary for the better "coordination" between the state and the centre and for the "overall development" of Uttar Pradesh is both spurious and flawed. It has nothing to do with what they have been telling the voters in Uttar Pradesh. The victory of the Congress candidates just cannot ensure development of any region or any state. The victory of the Congress means the victory of the vested interests and the most corrupt. It is an established fact. Leave aside the issue that the innocent people do vote for this party. The latest India Today's survey clearly shows that the Congress party has lost the people's confidence across the country and it is going to bite dust in Uttar Pradesh.
Take, for instance, the case of Jammu province after 1967, when for the first time elections to the Lok Sabha were held in the state under the control, supervision and direction of the Election Commission of India. Ever since then, the people of Jammu province have been returning to the Lok Sabha members belonging to the Congress party. The only exceptions were Thakur Baldev Singh (Janata Front), Vaid Vishno Dutt (BJP) and Choudhary Talib Hussain (NC). They scored victory in the Jammu-Poonch parliamentary constituency. As far as Udhampur-Doda parliamentary constituency is concerned, the Congress always represented this constituency. The only exception was Chaman Lal Gupta of the BJP. He represented this constituency for about six years. Similarly, the people of Jammu province have for most of the time pinned their faith in the Congress party, which has been directly or indirectly enjoying political power in the state since 1947. The NC came to power in 1947 with the help of the Congress and even today both are working together and ruling the state. The PDP also came to power with the help of the Congress and even today the relations between the two are quite cordial. The Congress would surely share power with the PDP in case Kashmir rejects the NC, which is extremely likely.
Has the Congress's victory after victory in any way helped Jammu province or led to its development, empowerment and socio-cultural and politico-economic regeneration? Even a naive would at once say no. On the contrary, he would say that the Congress party has consistently hobnobbed with Kashmiri leadership and defeated Jammu province. No one in Jammu trusts the Congress leadership; everyone holds it responsible for the Jammu's degeneration, neglect and disempowerment. It is, however, an entirely different story that no credible alternative has emerged in Jammu province to the Congress. But the situation is changing in this province like in the rest of the country.
The moral of the story is that the insistence of Priyanka and Rahul on one party rule in Uttar Pradesh and at the centre is a cunning ploy aimed at confusing and misleading the UP electorate and winning the election, which is not going to happen come what may. |
