| After 'betraying' Jammu, BJP ditches Ladakh | | UT election plank was just a 'jumla' | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 12: The BJP is not true to any one. It garners votes by raising issues the people hold very dear, captures power and after assuming it, it betrays, cheats, humiliates and leaves them in the lurch. In 2014, it got the national mandate and adopted policies which negated the promises it held to the nation and the result was that it suffered massive defeats in Delhi and Bihar. So much so, on November 10, on the eve of Diwali, four BJP veterans openly revolted against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP national president Amit Shah.
The same year, the BJP sought a massive mandate from Jammu in the assembly elections. It won no less than 25 seats out of 37, formed government with the PDP against which it had fought and it took no time in throwing into the dustbin the Vision Document, which had held several promises to the ignored and discriminated against people of Jammu province. In fact, the BJP excluded Jammu province from the governance of the state and handed over almost every thing to that Kashmir which had ensured that the BJP candidates lost their security deposits. The BJP could not win a single seat out of more than 30 seats for which it put up its candidates.
The BJP not only deprived the people of Jammu province of their share in the council of ministers, government and in almost all the departments, but it also taunted them by saying that the AIIMS, which was sanctioned for Jammu and transferred to Kashmir as per the power-sharing, will not be transferred back to Jammu. "No power can snatch AIIIMS from Kashmir and it will not be established in Jammu," said Nirmal Singh, Deputy Chief Minister, in Jammu itself and that too on the day when Jammu observed a massive bandh on the AIIMS issue. That's the reason the BJP has become thoroughly unpopular in Jammu province.
And on November 10, after the BJP suffered a humiliating defeat in Bihar, it, according to a reliable report, allegedly rejected the demand in Leh district for Union Territory status for the region. Union Home Minister reportedly refused to accept the demand.
According to highly placed sources, Rajnath Singh "rejected any possibility of UT status to Ladakh region during an interaction with a section of media in the national capital in the North Block organized as a part of 'Diwali Milan".
"No UT status to Ladakh at this moment and the government has no plan for it," Rajnath Singh was said to have told selected media persons. Report also said: "The Union Home Minister equated the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC) elections with Bihar polls asserting that victory and defeat is a part of the democratic set up".
So, it was none other than the Union Home Minister who rejected the UT demand. The BJP had only last month contested the LAHDC election on the UT status plank. Convinced that the BJP, which was in power in the state and at the centre, will concede their demand, the Ladakhis voted overwhelmingly for the BJP candidates. It defeated the Congress, which was in power for 15 long years, and won 18 out of 25 seats it contested in the 30-member House. The Congress' tally came down from 21 in 2010 to only four this time. On November 3, the BJP formed the fifth council in Leh. It happened for the first time in the region.
It was hoped that the BJP will respect its commitment, but it didn't happen. Contrarily, it rejected the demand, thus establishing that the BJP is the most untrustworthy and undependable party. The statement of Union Home Minister has obviously shocked the Ladakhis and pleased the Kashmiri leaders of all shades of opinion. |
