Come out with your 10 year report card in J&K: Congress to BJP

Ramgarh (Samba) Sep 27: Former Minister and All India Congress Committee (AICC) in-charge Jammu and Kashmir Bharatsinh Solanki on Friday dared the BJP to come out with its report card of 10 years of direct and indirect rule in J&K.

He was addressing a rally here in support of Congress candidate Yashpal Kundal.

“Except fake promises and false statements, BJP has nothing to highlight as its achievements in Jammu and Kashmir during the last 10 years. The people of J&K have been betrayed by the BJP’s false promises and deceitful tactics for far too long,” Solanki said, adding, “ For 10 years, the BJP has ruled J&K, and what do they have to show for it? Nothing but losses and shattered dreams”.

He alleged that the Lieutenant Governor, backed by the BJP, has controlled every aspect of the lives of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, stripping the autonomy and dignity of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

“I dare the BJP to present its report card for the past decade. Let them show us what they’ve achieved, what they’ve delivered. But we already know the answer – nothing,” Solanki said.

“Instead, they are resorting to their usual tactics of misinformation and manipulation, trying to hoodwink the people with empty promises,” the senior Congress leader said. He added that the people of Jammu and Kashmir are not foolish.

“We see through their lies. We remember how they reneged on their 2014 promises. We remember how they have exploited our natural resources, allowed big businesses to loot our state, and ignored our concerns,” he said.

Cautioning people against the nefarious designs of the BJP, Solanki said, “These elections are crucial. After 10 long years, we finally have the opportunity to elect our own government, a government that truly represents our aspirations and interests”.

Speaking on the occasion, Congress minority wing in-charge and Rajya Sabha member Imran Partapgari urged the people of Jammu and Kashmir to be cautious of the BJP’s tactics.

“Do not fall for their false promises. Instead, let’s unite behind the Congress-NC coalition, which has always prioritised our state’s sovereignty, economic well-being, and emotional integration,” he said.

“We will not be misled. We will not be deceived. We will choose our own destiny, and we will ensure that our state is ruled by those who truly care for its people”, the Rajya Sabha member said.
