The former minister said J&K lost their identity under BJP and appealed to the people to support Congress in the fight for the restoration of statehood. He said in the absence of an elected government, the LG administration has failed badly to pursue all those connected with development for giving push to the schemes and projects aimed at overall development and welfare of various areas and different segments of society.
Yogesh Sawhney in his address hit out at the Centre and LG Administration for deteriorating situation in J&K” and blamed them both for failing to create an atmosphere of peace as a result of which the country and J&K are passing though very crucial phase leading to the deep alienation among people. People are subjected to mental torture by J&K government in order to hide its failures. Government has miserably failed to deliver.
The misrule and mismanagement on their part has added to the woes of the people. Sawhney said all the promises made to the people by BJP after securing votes from them on sensitive issues, have fallen flat. “People have realized that they have been misled very badly on various public issues; unemployment has risen considerably; developmental process started by the UPA I & UPA II has come to standstill; lack of policy on the part of J&K government has disturbed the socio political scenario of J&K.
Manmohan Singh censuring BJP for failing to come up to the expectations of the people said people in J&K have realized that their vote to BJP instead of giving any respite to them has brought miseries to them. He said that the Congress stands committed to respect the “urges” and “aspirations” of the people and it will never allow BJP to play with the emotions of the people for sake of electoral gains.Singh blamed BJP for “undermining” the authority of democratic institutions of J&K for their personal benefit.
“They are trying to thrust Panchayat elections in a hurry without uttering a word on conduct of assembly elections,” he said.Ironically BJP ensured deferment of Assembly elections with the fear of defeat citing the reason as deteriorating situation. Alleging that Jammu and Kashmir has suffered the most under the BJP regime, Singh asserted that in the run-up to the assembly elections, the Congress will intensify its ideological fight against BJP and its policies towards the union territory.
Rajnish Sharma Mian speaking on the occasion claimed that so far BJP rule has been of “mismanagement, immense despair and agony” and the country today stands at a stage where the common people are suffering from the wounds inflicted by the government whereas Congress has been continuing its efforts to listen to grievances of aggrieved people in various areas of J&K.He said politics of disorientation and false propaganda have become the hallmark of the functioning of the Modi government.
The ninth year of Modi government stands at a stage where the citizens of the country are forced to suffer the countless wounds and ruthless insensitivity inflicted by the government,” he charged.He said that people are feeling harassed by ‘tax-terror’ and unprecedented price hike by the Modi Govt. At the same time, they realize that BJP Govt is looting them to recover the losses it has caused to the Country’s economy by misrule and mismanagement of things since day one, as a result, there is restlessness across the country.
