Jammu, August 30, 2023:- The Congress Party worked for decades to foster social tranquility, brotherhood by uniting people in tried to make people submit to the nation. The top leadership of the party has been trying to provide opportunities to people of all hues, communities and beliefs without any discrimination. This was stated by JKPCC Working President Raman Bhalla while addressing new entrants who joined Congress under the leadership of well known social and political figure Heena Bhatti at Haji Mustafa Colony Sunjwan .Prominent among those present on the occasion include Bittu Sharma, Haji Walli Mohd, Nekh Mohd , Madam Rajani, Madam Santosh Majotra, Parvez  Ahmed, Raj Mohd , Parvez Ali, Shabir Choudhary besides others.

Welcoming the new entrants into Congress family, Bhalla congratulated them over joining Congress saying that it is the Congress Party alone which has served the people to the best of their ability, as that the Party feels duty bound to the wellbeing of the people in J&K. He said Congress Party has always taken care of urges and aspiration of every section of the State and it will continue to safeguard their interests. He said everyday people from every district of Jammu and Kashmir are joining our party. It is a good thing.

Congress will become number one party in J&K in the upcoming elections. Winds of change are sweeping through J&K. In a big boost to the Congress party’s prospects, more and more people are aligning with us to take the message of love and prosperity forward. This is evidence that the voice of the people of the state is in favour of the Congress and that our march is on the right track, towards power,” Bhalla said. He said that it was not about the fight for power but a fight for freedom from the “anti-people policies” of the government.

Bhalla said Congress worked tirelessly to instill the democratic values among its workers while striving hard to strengthen the secular and democratic values in society in the country. He said history provides proof that the Congress Party made all out efforts to percolate the sense of responsibility, significance of the unity, sacredness of democratic values and its institutions as well as the sanctity of the constitution down to the grassroots level.

The democracy in this country grew stronger by days due to the untiring efforts of the Congress Party. And today if the Indian democracy is looked up to for emulation, the credit goes to the Congress, added Bhalla. Describing BJP-led government at the Centre and the administration in the Union Territory (UT) as anti-people, he regretted that instead of solving basic problems of the people, the BJP has been pursuing politics of hatred and divisive. “It is high time to educate people about the evil designs of the BJP to save the future of our younger generation,” he said.

Bhalla said there has been deliberate attempt to stifle the dissenting voice, which is in total contrast of the character to the constitution. He alleged that public in Jammu and Kashmir is facing brunt of anti-people policies of BJP Government at the Centre.He said that public has fed up with the anti- people policies of BJP Govt and LG Administration. The people are already facing difficulties in view of soaring prices of items of daily use, may it be vegetables, petrol/diesel, fruits or other ration items.

The LG’s administration is leaving no stone unturned in bringing more miseries like installation of smart meters under supervision of state forces and immediate enforcement of property tax. Many organisations are protesting against these measures being enforced by the present Govt and common man is crushed between these burning issues.If immediate relief is not given by Govt a common man will be sufferer and face an irreparable loss. He appealed public to vote & support Congress party so that it can bring peace harmony and control prices of essential goods.

Bhalla said the biggest achievement of BJP is that the J&K is now on the top of the states and UTs to have the highest percentage of educated unemployed youth. The unemployment rate in J&K is highest in the country and this is the achievement of BJP-controlled administration”. Bhalla said that every section of the society is bearing brunt of the anti-people policies being pursued by the BJP government at the Centre. He said that unemployment is growing like never before and the backbone of the common people is broken due to inflation and skyrocketing rise in the prices of essential commodities. He accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of indulging in politics of hatred and division, and said he should focus on the country’s development instead.

“Except hoodwinking the gullible masses by raking up emotive issues BJP has done nothing to solve basic problems of the people”, Bhalla said and pointed out every section of the society be it youth, women, working-class, weaker sections, and minorities are bearing brunt of the wrong policies of BJP.“As day today problems of the masses are compounding due to wrong policies of the government, the BJP is shamelessly indulged into fueling the hatred across the country to divert peoples’ attention from basic issues like unemployment, inflation, etc”, Bhalla said.Blasting the BJP for failure on all fronts, the former Minister asked the people of Jammu to remain vigilant against such evil designs of BJP.
