NC, PDP, Congress misleads the people for their self-interest: Ravinder Raina

When J&K was in deep turmoil, bloodshed, Gupkar leaders never called Dharna: Ravinder Raina

JAMMU 04 October 2023 “When the whole of J&K was in deep turmoil, slumber, uncertainty and bloodshed, the leaders belonging to the Gupkar Alliance, never cared for the people’s welfare and never raised any call for “Dharna, Pradarshan” aimed to the welfare of the common masses. So now when Jammu & Kashmir progresses on the path of development, when the people of the region are welcoming the process of peace and progress, these Congress, NC, and PDP leaders are trying to vitiate the atmosphere by their “Dharna, Pradarshan” calls. Is it just not the deep conspiracy to create the unrest for their own individual petty political interests?” said Ravinder Raina.

Ravinder Raina attacked the opposition parties over a protest call on October 10 and said that NC, Congress, and PDP Leaders under the Gupkar Alliance are engineering conspiracies against developing Jammu and Kashmir.

Ravinder Raina, J&K BJP President, accompanied by MP (Lok Sabha) Jugal Kishore Sharma, former Dy. CM Dr. Nirmal Singh, former Minister Sat Sharma, and former Minister & BJP NEM Priya Sethi was addressing the media persons at party headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu.

While talking to the media persons, Ravinder said that opposition parties have planned a Dharna now. But the people want to know that when J&K was in dangerous situations and deep bloodshed, the opposition was in deep slumber and never gave dharna at that time, why is it so?

When the whole of J&K was in the middle of blackout and Dharnas, these political leaders never came on the streets and today when J&K is progressing on the path of peace and progress, fast-paced development, and prosperity, these Gupkar leaders are plotting to create unrest with each passing day. Feeling suffocated by the development, they just want to mislead innocent people.

Where were these Gupkar leaders, when Gujjar Bakkarwal were fighting for their rights, Pahadi people were fighting for justice, but Congress, NC, and PDP never came on front. OBC community was fighting for their rights, but leaders like Abdullah, and Mufti never asked for Dharna, or Pradarshan then. West Pakistan Refugees, Gorkhas, Valmiki, and many other communities were being denied basic rights but these leaders were unmoved then.

Now, when the Modi government is pursuing the agenda development, then these Gupkar leaders are getting unnerved. Today the brotherhood is being developed among all the regions and religions. More than 2 crore tourist footfall is there, why these people are getting unnerved over the progress? People across faiths, communities, regions, and professions are satisfied by the development measures. Schools. Colleges and universities are open. The whole of J&K is working well, but these leaders are not able to digest the happiness of people

Raina further asked them the reasons for boycotting the elections in 2018, and then they boycotted these Urban Local Bodies elections in the city meant for development. These people never strengthened the Panchayati Raj system. Panch Sarpanch were puppets in the system. They always mislead the gullible population and misuse the system for their own benefit.

“These parties are now creating false narratives to hoodwink the people of J&K”, said Raina.

Today, J&K is on the path of new development. 2 new AIIMS, 8 medical colleges, ring roads, rail connectivity, express highways, tunnels, jal Jeevan mission, justice with every section, welfare of poor, and this whole development is not being digested by these Gupkaris, who aim to halt the development process.

When the Modi government took steps to ensure a roof over the heads of the poor, these leaders opposed the move. Ayushman to every individual. Pension schemes, roofs, free ration, free vaccines for COVID, and socio-economic measures for marginalized sections. Gujjar, Gaddi, Sippi, and all other sections got their due rights under the Modi government.

The Modi government is following the principle of the “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwaas” mission. The pain to the Ill-fated-Alliance is understandable as they have lost the support of the people and they know that their political ground is finished now.
