JAMMU: JKPCC Working President, Raman Bhalla on Tuesday slammed the BJP-ruled central government and said it had “completely failed” on all fronts no matter which parameter was used to evaluate its performance.
BJP failed to ensure social cohesion, internal security, economic development, international relations and commitment to institutionalism.
The country’s progress retrograded in the eight-year rule of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has failed on all fronts, said former Minister while interacting with aggrieved people of Rajiv Nagar on Wednesday.
Prominent among those present on the occasion include Panch Gagan, Harvinder Kour, Paras Ram, Master Banbari Baba, Gourav Kumar, Kala Ram, Kuldeep Singh, Kamla Devi, Parvat Kishore Kumar, Khadim Hussain, Rakesh Kumar, Bablu Kumar, Polla beside others .
Speaking on the occasion, Bhalla said that country is in the grip of an inflationary spiral resulting in galloping price rise of all essential goods used by the people. This crushing price burden is making life exceedingly difficult for the rural and urban poor. It means less to eat for the poor and lower middle-class families, cutting out nutritious food for children and the inability to buy any of the goods necessary for a minimum standard of living. Inflation means loss of livelihood for lakhs of people – street vendors and those surviving by running small businesses. It also hits the small and micro enterprises.
“On the one hand, there is complete uncertainty in J&K, while on the other hand people are confronting with failure of the administration to solve day today problems”, he said, adding that most parts of the city are facing scarcity of basic facilities.
Bhalla said that Since BJP took over in 2014, the miseries of the people of Jammu and Kashmir have increased manifolds. He said that all the promises made to the people prior to the Assembly elections of 2014 remained unfulfilled. Eight years have passed but they have failed to fulfill any of the promises, be it the problems faced by the border residents, be it the problems faced by the farmers, be it the problems of Refugees and Kashmiri Pandits, this government has done nothing to address those problems,” he said.
Bhalla accused the BJP government of destroying the financial system of the country.
Hitting out at the government, Bhalla alleged that Govt tenure so far period has been marked by misery and misgovernance with high inflation, low employment and communal polarization being the hallmark.
