Coalition govt treating SC community 'step motherly': BJP | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Mar 21: BJP today alleged that the members of scheduled caste community and their localities are subjected to discrimination and given step motherly treatment by the state government. Alleging a 'step motherly' treatment doled to down trodden community, the BJP State president Shamsher Singh Manhas said that like other sections of the society and communities, the SCs in Jammu too have resentment against the NC-Congress coalition as benefits of various centrally-sponsored schemes launched for their welfare and upliftment do not reach the real deserving families. While addressing a massive public gathering in Pacca Talab, W-17 locality of Jammu West Assembly Constituency under party's "Jan Sammelan" being organized in view of the forthcoming municipal elections, Manhas said that scholarships for the poor SC students are sanctioned but not released in time. "The developmental works to be undertaken in the SC bastis (localities) under special schemes are also seen lingering for lack of will and approval by the concerned authorities, he said further adding, "the BJP has been raising the voice of SCs and other weaker sections at all the forums. On this occasion Manhas exhorted people not to get misled by the false slogans of NC and Congress in the forthcoming municipal elections and elect BJP candidates so that their areas are developed on priority. He said, "Dogras have a history of supreme sacrifices and stressed that unity among the Jammuites has become all the more important as the Kashmir-centric parties like NC and PDP have been working to appease the separatists while Congress has not uttered even a single word against the policies and ideology of these parties. State General Secretary Sat Sharma (CA) said that the biggest achievement of the present NC-Congress coalition government has been the total neglect of SCs and promoting corrupt elements in the state. Referring to corruption, BJP leader said that the present government feels pride in booking patwaris, JEs and other low ranking officials but do not feel shy for shielding top ministers and etc. JMC former Mayor Kavinder Gupta, in his address highlighted the achievements of the Jammu Municipal Corporation during his tenure as Mayor. He declared that the BJP will once again win the Corporation with majority and provide a people-friendly administration. Chander Mohan Sharma, Bansi Lal Bharti, Balbir Ram, Munish Sharma, Narsingh Dass Rajwal, Vijay Choudhary, Praduman Singh, Dinesh Gupta, Dr Abhi Takhyal and others were prominent among others who were present on the occasion. Meanwhile Kashmir Migrant Cell of J&K BJP was constituted here today with Bhagat Bhushan Bhat as its president. Senior BJP leader & Prabhari of All Party Cells Chander Mohan Sharma announced this and added Kashmiri Migrants cell will be comprising of 74 members including office bearers T.N. Handoo, P.L. Suderhi, R.K. Wangnoo, I.K. Bhan, Surinder Jalali and Sweety Koul as vice-presidents, T.N. Raina as General Secretary, Raju Kukru as publicity secretary and Ashok Koul |
