JAMMU: The JKPCC has said that the BJP’s promise to provide 5 Marlas plot to the residents of border area in safer zone has come out to be another election ‘Jumla’ as the government has ruled out the possibility of providing alternate accommodation to them.
Reacting to the reply of the Government in the State Legislature wherein the government has ruled out the providing of 5 Marlas plot to the residents of border area in the safer zone, Chief Spokesperson JKPCC Ravinder Sharma said that it shows that BJP hoodwinked and made false promises during the elections to seek vote from people of border area.
He said that BJP in its election manifesto had clearly promised to allot 5 Marlas plot to border residents in safe zone but now it clear that all the slogans were just election ‘Jumlas’ to win election.
He said that BJP and all its legislators has further exposed, when they did not support the demand for withdrawal of tax for use of helicopter service for the pilgrimage of Machail Mata, Amarnath Yatra and Vaishno Devi in the Legislature Assembly. The BJP representatives in Cabinet and in Legislature have failed to get the tax rolled back and did not support the demand in the Assembly in this regard, he added.
