BJP has always stood for Jammu: Balbir

Jammu,February 09 (Scoop News)- BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan, while reacting to the recent statement of Congress senior leader & former Cabinet Minister, Sham Lal Sharma, charging BJP of surrendering Jammu’s interests, said that his remarks are completely false, baseless and misleading. He said that infact, it has been the Congress, which enjoyed the power in the state for maximum period, always ignored the interests of the people of Jammu region for the sake of power. The party is responsible for the political, economic and poor development conditions of Jammu province.
Balbir Ram Rattan reminded the Congress that the BJP has always followed the legacy of great Dogra leader Pt. Premnath Dogra, who fought for the cause of Jammu and the patriotic people.
“Will the Congress leader explain as to who was responsible for allocating less seats to Jammu province vis-a vis Kashmir province in state assembly when Jammu had more population and more difficult terrain; who has been responsible for less share of Jammu province in the employment in Civil Secretariat in particular; what did Congress do for refugees; does it has anything to claim for Jammu province migrants; who misused Roshni Act ”,questioned Balbir.
Balbir further asked the Congress leader whether it was not during the past governments that J&K got the tag of being one of the most corrupt state and the cases of land encroachment were on peak during that period ? He said that BJP during its rule took initiatives and got retrieved hundreds of kanal of government land and there was not a single case of corruption. The people of Jammu are well aware that numerous cases of corruption are lying with SVO against the ministers of the governments when Congress had been sharing power in the past.
“ It was result of the efforts of Bharatiya Janata Party while in coalition with the PDP that Jammu province got privileged institutions like AIIMS, IIT, IIM and IHM. It may also be in the knowledge of Congress leader that during short span of 10 months PDP-BJP coalition government, number of new projects have been initiated for the development of Jammu province, for the unemployed youth, for farmers, for border people, for widows, women folk, old aged persons and for the low income group people.
The Spokesperson said that establishment of new platform at Jammu Railway Station, provision of escalators and lifts there, four lanning of road and extending rail link to Rajouri-Poonch, construction of new bridge on Chenab in Akhnoor, setting up of new battalions of IRP etc will benefit the people of Jammu and these prestigious projects stand sanctioned during the BJP rule.
