RAMNAGAR: Accusing the BJP of having failed to fulfil even a single promise made to its electorates during 2014 Assembly elections, JKNPP chairman Harsh Dev Singh today said that coming elections would prove to be a waterloo for its fake and dishonest leaders.
Addressing public meetings at Thaplal and Dehari in Ramnagar, Singh said that those who had abused the public trust would not only be made accountable and answerable but appropriately replied and responded. He said that simmering underlying discontent was fast bursting into fury as was noticed in several Ramnagar villages where people were openly confronting the mandated leadership. “It’s not easy to deceive people. Today people remember each word spoken during elections, each action, each promise and each pledge. How hard we try, we can’t wipe the slate clean and erase the public memory with one new shot. You have to account for the U-turns that you took on your promises made during elections and on the strength of which you were voted to power”, Singh said. Alleging deprivation and neglect of rural and remote areas, farmers and youth by the erstwhile regime, Singh said that grim political regression of saffron rule shall continue to haunt the people of Jammu region. “Nobody spoke for the educated youth of Jammu region who were subjected to the most hostile discrimination in services during the last few years. None of the mandated leaders could rake up the cause of daily rated and other casual and need based workers who were denied wages for years together. No MLA could raise his voice in Assembly against the anti- Jammu stance taken by the Kashmir centric leadership on multifarious issues,” he added. Urging the masses to overthrow the failed leadership, Singh said that people had paid a very heavy price for voting these opportunist leaders who worked solely for their own loaves and fishes.
These leaders only amassed huge wealth and worked for their own personal enrichment at the cost of public, said Singh. Prominent among those who spoke on the occasion included Des Raj BDC President Ramnagar, Pawan Dev Singh, Bassi Sarpanch Gita Devi, Thaplal Sarpanch Raj Kumar and others.
