J&K lost its identity under BJP rule: Raman Bhalla
Intensifying his election campaign, Congress working president of J&K, Raman Bhalla, on Friday organised a door-to-door campaign in RS Pura-Jammu South constituency, from where he is contesting.
Bhalla said that J&K “lost its identity” under the BJP and appealed to the people to support Congress in the fight for the restoration of statehood. “BJP regime has destroyed J&K in various spheres, as it lost its identity, status, right over jobs, lands, opportunities of trade and transport and business besides whatsoever selections and recruitment were done in the UT,” he said.
He said, “People have been exploited in the name of a bright future, controlled prices, and two crore jobs annually. But all their promises have fallen flat, except politics of hate and division. J&K was a historical state with much better living conditions than most states in the country, but now it has been pushed into an atmosphere of political uncertainty”.
“Congress party is committed to restoring the lost glory of the state when it will be in government. Congress initiated numerous welfare measures for the people of the state. They worked hard to ensure equality among the people of all castes, creeds and culture,” he said and recalled various steps taken by the Congress government for the education of girls and welfare of the marginalised and neglected lot of society.
