Saffron regime has lost confidence of masses: Harsh Dev | | | Early Times Report JAMMU, Aug 23: J&K National Panthers Party (JKNPP) activists led by Mr. Harsh Dev Singh, State President and Former Minister held a vociferous protest outside BJP Headquarters seeking dismissal of its govt in view of loss of peoples' confidence in its rule. The Protesters carrying placards raised slogans of "BJP Sarkar Murdabad, Murdabad", "BJP Kursi Shodo, Kursi Shodo", "BJP Sarkar logon ko lootna bandh karo, bandh karo". They were addressed by several senior leaders of the Party who described the present BJP regime as the worst ever in the history of the country. Maintaining that BJP had lost the confidence of the people in view of its multiple betrayals, Singh said that it had no right to continue in office. He said that having dismantled the oldest historical dogra state of J&K and downgraded it to UT level, the BJP govt had extended several draconian laws to it without the nod of legislature. Opening of multiple Toll Plazas and limitless Liquor shops and Bars, introduction of Smart meters and Property tax, sky-rocketing prices of essentials, burgeoning employment, patronized all pervasive corruption, settlement of Beharis and UP people in UT and politics of hate seemed to be the only notable achievements of BJP rule, said Singh. While rising prices had made the lives of people miserable, the BJP govt was resorting to extortion in the form of increased cesses, duties, tolls and taxes. Several Toll Plazas had been installed in the Jammu region to loot the people of their marginal incomes despite the condition of roads being highly pathetic. He said that Sarore Toll Plaza and Ban Toll Plazas had been assured to be removed by BJP including its central leaders which however turned out to be mere hyperboles. And contrarily the Toll was enhanced at both the plazas thereby causing massive resentment amongst the general masses. Likewise, the opening of several liquor shops despite people's opposition in the city of temples had further created massive resentment amongst the locals particularly the womenfolk. And while the region faced chronic crisis in power and water sectors, the govt came up with the proposal of installation of Smart meters as if to rub salt on the wounds of people, said Mr. Singh. Harsh Dev said that having failed to redeem its promises, the BJP was now indulging in divisive politics and creating hatred by invoking caste, colour, creed and religion in the affairs of govt thereby denting its own reputation beyond redemption. It needed to be dismissed lock, stock & barrel, said Singh. |
