• Better to focus at emergency issues than coalition partners infighting

JAMMU: Arun Gupta alleges regional insensitivity and the infighting in coalition partners as the major causes for the failure of the NC government in saving the 17 lives in Rajouri. Due to callous approach by NC government, MHA, Government of India had to intervene and depute a 11-member team from Centre to look into the alarming emergency situation at Badhal village on the request of J&K BJP, said Arun Gupta.

Arun Gupta, spokesperson, J&K BJP accompanied by Balbir Ram Rattan, Spokesperson and Dr. Pardeep Mahotra, Media Secretary was addressing a press conference at party headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu. Arun Gupta said that since the first incident on December 7, 2024, after more than 43 days, deaths are still continuing in the most alarming situation taking the toll to 17. The NC government has taken a non-serious view of this serious emergency only when BJP started raising concerns and inspite of that, no serious efforts have been made.

ā€œThis regional insensitivity is not acceptable to BJP and under no circumstances would allow citizens of the area to suffer and be at the mercy of the NC government, which always has worked on regional whims. Now, MHA, government of India had to intervene and depute a 11-member team for investigation and put it to logical action on the request of J&K BJPā€, said Arun Gupta.

Inspite of huge and full-fledged medical departments having huge resources, J&K government is not able to handle this medical emergency. The CM who heads this government has not visited once to oversee this medical emergency for more than 43 days now. This lack of leadership by the head of UT, does not allow the team to see serious consequences of this emergency, which can spread like jungle fire and will be totally uncontrollable, if spreads in nearby villages and NC government will be wholly responsible for this failure, said Gupta.

Arun Gupta said that the Coalition partners are busy in setting up a narrative of counter allegations on each other sidelining major issues like this medical emergency leaving administration clueless. If the coalition is not working, it cannot be settled at the cost of citizens, he added.
