Early Times Report

Jammu, Dec 27: Former Minister and senior Congress leader Raman Bhalla on Friday said that much publicized development agenda launched by Union government led by BJP for J&K is turning out to be a flop show with people yearning for redressal of their day to day problems. This was stated by former Minister while addressing prominent persons of Ward 49, Shanker Colony in Gandhi Nagar constituency. Prominent among those present on the occasion include Jatinder Chib (Block President), Kamal Singh (Corporator), Fazal Hussain, Kuldeep Raj (Panch),Om Prakash, Raj Kumar, Rupinder Singh, Gurpurab Singh, Dhananter Singh beside others.
Taking a dig at BJP government at the centre and previous BJP government in J&K, Bhalla said so far it has shown only dismal performance, nothing short of befooling people to make noise on the plank of development of the J&K as if earlier governments have done nothing for development in the J&K. Saying that doing development is the job of any government and it is not surprising if the BJP government is blacktopping few roads in Jammu city. BJP's development slogan is just a political gimmickry and an act of securing political gains as masses at large do not get the basic amenities of life like ration, drinking water, power without much ado.
Bhalla said that people belonging to lower strata of society like pheriwalas, rehriwalas, landless auto drivers and many other such like people have been badly let down by BJP government after securing their mandate by making tall promises with them. He said people do not require hollow announcements of BJP made in the name of development to gullible people and assailed BJP for its failure to provide basic facilities to villagers living under shadow of cross border firings often fleeing from their house to safer place of their own without proper arrangements of government.
Talking about development agenda of BJP, Bhalla said that in order to topple Mahtama Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) scheme launched by previous government which was people-friendly , BJP govt has imposed 50% cut in allocation of funds and that too have not been released.
Bhalla reminded BJP Government for its decision to close down 1300 primary and middle schools in Jammu region in the name of rationalization. The need of the hour is to bring accountability to the existing system of education instead of creating false hopes.
Adding further he said that Govt Hospital Gandhi Nagar & Rajiv Gandhi Hospital in spite of funds made available by UPA govt at center by GN Azad were not made functional.
Former Minister asserted that BJP has compromised on all issues and slogans for the sake of power and its stand badly exposed in front of the people of Jammu region.
