Senior citizens should contribute in BJP’s victory: JD Singh

The role of senior citizens in every sphere of the society is very important and they should share the experiences of their life with the younger generations and contribute in making India a developed nation, the Visit Bharat, as envisioned by the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi.

This was stated by JD Singh, Convener, Jammu and Kashmir BJP Senior Citizens Cell, while discussing the good governance of Modi government, with a group of senior functionaries of the party in a meeting on Wednesday.

JD Singh said that the people who have attained the age of sixty years or more, and are senior citizens today, have seen very minutely the programmes and policies of different political parties, which ruled at the Centre and in the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir on their own or in coalition. For most of the time after independence, it was the Congress, which was in power at the Centre for decades together and similarly the NC and PDP, besides Congress, ruled in J&K for maximum periods but the people were discriminated, deprived of genuine rights as the regional parties also promoted dynastic rule.

JD Singh further said that the senior citizens have well seen the plight of the West Pakistan refugees, the daughters of the soil, the Valmiki samaj, the STs and other sections and should take pledge to teach such parties lesson which played politics of appeasement and false sloganeering. It is the BJP-led NDA government under the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, which has presented a real model of good governance during the last about ten tears and wiped the tears of the suffering people across the UT.

He said that there has been splendid and all-round development in every sector and the people have got varied welfare schemes for the first time, which have brought changes in their lives with upliftment in the socio-economic conditions. As the UT has been put on the path of real development, the people here have developed faith in what BJP has been promising and they would obviously support BJP but still we have to reach every door and share the good works of the Modi government. Every senior citizen should devote time for few weeks and become a decisive player in massive victory of the party.

The party senior functionaries in the meeting included Jugal Dogra, Pardeep Sharma, Ram Sarup Sharma, Kunti Jasrotia, Veena Gupta and others.
