STATE TIMES NEWS

JAMMU: JKPCC Working President Raman Bhalla on Thursday hit out at the BJP for allegedly destroying the identity, status, and rights of the people and said the Centre is deliberately delaying the holding of early assembly elections in the union territory.
Former Minister was interacting with deputation from Rajiv Nagar in Bahu constituency.
Speaking on the occasion, Bhalla denounced the Government for installation of smart meters and launch of prepaid system for electricity in Jammu and Kashmir.
He vehemently objected to the installation of smart meters and the implementation of a prepaid system for electricity, while saying that the present Government is leaving no stone unturned to tormenting people of the Union Territory, particularly the poor masses.
Bhalla claimed that people are dejected over the power bills, which are contrary to their monthly consumption.
He said that people are getting hefty bills after installation of the smart meters and they don’t know whom to complaint as toll free numbers given by the PDD are not picked up by anyone.
Bhalla severely reprimanded the administration and demanded that installation of smart meters and implementation of prepaid system for electricity be stopped immediately in the interest of the poor masses.
Asking party workers to gear-up for upcoming Assembly elections in Jammu & Kashmir, Bhalla exhorted upon them to converge their efforts to intensify party’s public outreach programme to strengthen the base of the party.
Asserting that Congress alone is the solution to end the miseries of people, he asked party cadre especially the workers to gear up for the upcoming Panchayat and Local Bodies elections to give befitting reply to those who are befooling the people with their hollow slogans.
He asked people of J&K to strengthen hands of Congress to once again install a government which is people-centric and considerate towards the problems of the common man and not like BJP Government which is doing anything and everything for selected few in the country.
