Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee Working President and the Congress candidate for the Jammu Lok Sabha seat Raman Bhalla on Friday said that the BJP government insulted people by downgrading historical Dogra state and asserted that statehood is our right and we shall get it given Supreme Court orders.
Addressing rallies at Letar, Pouni in Reasi, Treyath, and Marchola in Kalakote- Sunderbani, Bhalla lashed out at the Modi government for snatching the rights of people and identity of Dogras by downgrading the historical dogra state and depriving people of Assembly elections for more than five years.
“Government should have restored the statehood immediately, as per Supreme Court directions but it is being delayed without any justifications as well delay in holding assembly elections for fear of losing elections,” he said.
He said that the BJP deprived people of their livelihood, snatching the land of farmers, taking away rights of land, jobs of youth, and trade of locals.
“Price rise is at peak and unemployment has crossed all records of 45 years,” Bhalla said adding that the Modi government has destroyed the future of youth by introducing the Agniveer scheme. He said that Congress has promised to revoke it and hold regular recruitments besides giving one lakh per educated youth, one lakh to poor women, and doubling wages of Anganwadi, Asha, and Mid-day meal workers.
He said BJP is in panic which is why the Prime Minister and Other top leaders are rushing to the Jammu region.
He expressed gratitude to the people for their cooperation and support and said that he would reach out to the people in every nook corner of the constituency and solve the problem of the poor on priority always.
