Jammu, Dec 12: Continuing his attack on the present regime in state for its failure to redress basic issues of people of state particularly in remote areas, Harsh Dev Singh JKNPP Chairman and Former Minister today said that the coalition regime has become 'unresponsive' to woes of rural masses.
Disseminating the policies and programmes of Panthers Party, Harsh Dev Singh JKNPP Chairman and Former Minister today claimed that NPP was the lone crusader fighting for the cause of Jammu region and for socio-economic advancement of dogras. He said that the Panthers Party had been fighting from streets to Supreme Court for ensuring justice to the hitherto deprived Dogra land.
While addressing public meetings in villages Sail Kori Bair, Sarail and Chua in Majalta Tehsil, Singh lambasted the coalition govt. particularly the BJP for failing to translate any of its election time promises into reality.
"BJP had not only ignored its election manifesto but had inflicted the biggest dent upon Dogra pride by its successive surrenders on Jammu centric issues, he said, adding, "BJP which had donned the mantle of Jammu's saviours prior to elections had given the Dogras a shock of their lifetimes by their contemptuous and irresponsible conduct after assuming power."
Expressing his strong disapproval of the recent steep increase in the prices of food grains, Harsh said that huge increase in the prices of 'Atta' and Rice had received all-round condemnation from the general public who had been awaiting the arrival of "Achhe Din" with baited breath. He said that spurt was unprecedented as it amounted to 63% increase in the price of Atta and 50% increase in the price of Rice which posed the most menacing threat to the pockets of the common man.
He also regretted inordinate delay in payment of liabilities and wages to workers under NREGA and others schemes by RDD which had brought untold miseries for the labour class. Appealing the people to strengthen their own regional party, Singh vowed not to relent and to take the fight for Jammu to its logical conclusion.
Prominent among those who spoke on the occasion included Rajesh Sharma, Dharam Singh Bittu, Basharat Ali, Prem Nath, Balwant Singh, Purshotam Singh, Parkash, Sugar Din, Capt. Krishan Singh (Rtd), Pt. Chuni Lal, Rattan Chand, Kulbir Singh, Gian Chand, Mohd Sadiq besides others. |
