Jammu, Jan 16: National Conference (NC) Additional General Secretary and Former Minister Ajay Kumar Sadhotra today accused BJP of betraying the massive mandate it received from the people of Jammu in the assembly elections by failing to fulfill its promise of restoring the statehood to J&K.

According to a press release, he was addressing a public meeting at Sarara Rattanpur in Ghagwal Block of Samba district.

Sadhotra lambasted the BJP for indulging in rhetoric and divisive politics instead of enabling a situation for the popularly elected government under the leadership of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to address the pressing issues faced by the people of the region. “The dual control has hugely impacted the governance,” he added.

“The BJP has once again shown its disregard for the aspirations of the people by delaying the restoration of statehood for Jammu and Kashmir,” NC leader said. He added that instead of delivering on its promises, the party thrives on communal politics and hollow slogans.

Former Minister assailed the BJP’s approach to governance, accusing it of superimposing itself as the so-called ultra-nationalist entity while acting against the inclusive and diverse fabric of the Indian nation. “Their reactionary and impulsive politics has inflicted more harm than good, both to the nation at large and to Jammu and Kashmir in particular,” he said, citing rising unemployment, spiraling inflation, and rampant corruption as direct consequences of the BJP’s mis-governance.

Our focus is on delivering fast-track recruitment processes, developmental initiatives, and policies that uplift every section of society,” he said.
