Early Times Report JAMMU, Mar 21: Former Dy CM Tara Chand today heavily criticized the misgovernance of BJP government due to which common masses are feeling cheated. He blamed the government for failing to tackle prices and making life difficult for the common man. There is no doubt that there has been a significant increase in Poverty and hunger. He was addressing the Congress worker's meeting at village Nathal in Chaamb Constituency which was attended by hundreds of people and Congress workers. He said, there is rule of untruth and injustice in the country. Whoever raises his or her voice has to bear the brunt of the government's anger. Addressing on the occasion, former Dy CM said by increasing the prices of petrol diesel and LPG Cylinders again, the Modi Govt has made it clear that it was not concerned about the problems of the Common people, he said. Common people are badly hit by inflation, petrol and diesel prices are increasing continuously despite the low prices of Crude oil in the International market. Accusing the government of profiteering off "people misery" he demanded reducing the prices by partially rolling back the excise duty. The truth is that as GDP "nosedives" the prices of gas diesel and petrol continue to rise unchecked, he said. Reacting to this year budget for J&K, he expressed dismay over the lack of any major initiative to boost the economically distressed region. There is nothing about employment in the budget. There are no efforts to create job opportunities in the wake of large scale unemployment and retrenchments due to wrong economic policies of the BJP government. Tara Chand said the delimitation exercise should be conducted in accordance with the Constitution and norms & procedure prescribed under the law taking into account various parameters of population, area, terrain, topography and other such considerations in order to ensure complete justice with each and every area. Others who attended the meeting include Suram Singh (Vice President DCC Rural Jammu) Block President Pargwal, Khour, Samwa and Khara Balli, Jagatar Singh, Madan lal Sharma, Jagdish Raj Sharma, Gautam Sharma, Daljeet Singh, Captain Kali Dass, Ashok Sharma, Madan Lal Sharma, Vijay Chib, Prabhu Singh, Sarpanches, Panchs, and members of Municipal Committee, Block Office bearers and other delegates. |
