JAMMU: Former Minister and senior Congress leader, Raman Bhalla slammed anti-people, anti-youth, anti-peace and anti-development policies being pursued by the insensitive and irresponsible Coalition Government in the State. He held the government squarely responsible for creating mess in three years of taking over the reins of administration and putting the State virtually at the brink of collapse.
Intensifying mass contact programme for mobilising public support against the ‘anti-people policies’ of PDP-BJP alliance in J&K here at Sanjay Nagar, Bhalla said the engine of development is gaining rust and the atmosphere of peace and tranquility has become a fact of the past.
“What really are you doing after making lot of promises and showing dreams to the people”, Bhalla asked the government, advising it either to perform or perish. He said the public patience and resilience should not be taken for granted.
“What looks a subtle resistance this time can burst into volcano if the government goes ahead with its dangerous policies of antagonizing youth, putting brakes on development, showing scant concern towards normal functioning of the utility services and vitiating the atmosphere”, he maintained.
Bhalla elaborately dwelt on the problems faced by the people with special reference to those living in the Jammu region. He said the power and water supply is erratic while the condition of roads has become vulnerable due to negligence thus putting the lives of pedestrians and commuters to grave risk.
Bhalla said that there seems to be pattern in persecuting the people by denying them minimum basics, least to speak of giving fillip to developmental tempo, which had been the hallmark of Congress led government. Same is the fate of urban areas, which have suffered the most during the past three years, he said.
The meeting was organised by PCC Member and Ex Corporator Dawraka Choudhary and General Secretary DCC Urban, Vijay Singh Chib.
Among those present on the occasion include PCC Member and Ex Corporator Kulbushan Sharma, Block President Parveen Singh, Kirtan Singh, Karan Singh Chib, Madam Paramjeet Kour, Madam Babli, Madam Madhu, Madam Pholi, Gurdeep Singh Kaka, Sahildeep Singh, Advocate Ashwani, Jasbir Singh Jassi, Vijay Gupta, Prince, Balvinder Singh Rinku, Shashi Khanna, Swran Singh, Kashmira Singh and Joginder Singh.
