The meeting took stock of the preparations for the ULB and Panchayat elections and asked the party cadres to gear up for these elections and defeat the anti people anti youth, anti students, anti farmers, BJP regime. The party sought input from various districts and blocks regarding the activities of the party.
PCC Chief lashed out at those parties who have been exploiting the sentiments of the people on various emotional issues for vote bank politics but utterly failed to deliver on their commitments, causing great unrest in different regions and sections of the society. The people must identify such political parties and reject them being their worst enemies and responsible for the mistrust and unrest amongst the people.
He said that people of Jammu region should rise above the caste and religious exploitations and vote unitedly in favour of Congress to defeat the nefarious designs of communal, divisive and separatist forces in the state in order to seek due share in every sphere of life. He complimented the people of Jammu region for believing in togetherness and religious harmony despite grave provocations by vested interests
Shri Vikar Rasool Wani called upon the party functionaries to go to the masses and maintain close rapport with the people and seek suggestions regarding the issues of general public to be taken up in the party manifest for the next elections. He asked the local leadership of districts, Blocks, Wards and observers to try to identify and short list the potential candidates for the ULB elections and said that the deserving candidates will be given mandate for the elections. He asked the party cadres to highlight the various failures of the BJP Govt. among the masses.
He said that BJP Govt. in its 9 years rule under the prime minister ship of Shri Narinder Modi has ruined the country in every field. Every section of the society is suffering due to its wrong policies and wrong decisions. The people of Jammu and Kashmir are the most sufferers. The Modi Govt. has snatched the right of jobs and land from the people of J&K by downgrading a full-fledged state into Union Territory. The property tax, toll plazas, smart meters, unemployment has added more in the miseries of people of Jammu and Kashmir, Wani added.
Mr. Raman Bhalla in his address said that unemployment is increasing day by day. Govt. advertizes jobs, Sell application forms by charging heavy fee and then cancel these jobs on reasons. In this process many youth have become over aged and frustrated for their future. The people, especially youth will certainly ask the local leaders of BJP , what they have done for them.
He lashed out at the entire BJP leadership for ignoring and neglecting the mandate of Jammu who remained as mute spectators for the sake of power. The people are deeply hurt over attitude of BJP leaders in the Govt. but unfortunately the people are exploited in the name of religion and castes. Such a divisive politics is dangerous for the state and nation. He asked the leaders and activists of Jammu Urban to fan out in their areas and educate the masses about the failures of BJP Govt. at the Centre and State.
Bhalla stressed upon the need to counter the false propaganda of BJP claiming to be champions of Jammu for last seven decades but miserably failed when they got huge mandate on falsehood and unachievable slogans. BJP stands exposed totally and it can no longer befool the masses of Jammu region. He said that unholy alliance caused a great harm to the social and secular fabric of Jammu region and people must reject all opportunists and exploitative politics in coming elections.
