- Kavinder presses for pro-people approach of administration
JAMMU: Pressing for the pro-people approach of administration, Bharatiya Janata Party, Jammu & Kashmir led by Kavinder Gupta, former Deputy Chief Minister asked the LG administration to look after the interests of common masses and rehabilitate the people before dislodging them out of their business spaces during the ongoing development projects.
Kavinder Gupta, former Deputy Chief Minister, accompanied by Prabhat Singh Jamwal, BJP Treasurer, Dr. Pardeep Mahotra, BJP Media Incharge, Vinay Gupta, Seh-Prabhari District Jammu Rural, Pawan Singh, former JMC Councillor, Bharat Bhushan, Mandal President, and shopkeepers of Nai Basti.
Kavinder Gupta, while addressing the media persons, said that the administration has the duty to serve the people not to leave them desperate and helpless. He said that the administration has the duty to first look after the interests of people and their revenue resources before taking any decision.
Kavinder Gupta said that it is a pity that the administration has all of a sudden attached notices on the shops of Nai Basti telling them that they have the last day in their shops. He said that the people are sudden left roofless, with no other income. If the administration is so emotionless to throw people out of their establishments with no ways to pay back their heavy amount of loans and feed their families.
Kavinder Gupta pointed out that they have already pin pointed and identified the places where they could be allotted alternative spaces to rehabilitate. He said that they are demanding spaces just near bout 11 Marla which is nothing in comparison to big chunks of lands allotted to different people for various purposes. He said that they are just demanding land on which they would rather construct their kiosks themselves.
He said that at the time, when the Modi government is looking after the interests of people, giving them shelter, residential homes, food, and ways to earn, the administration has left the people clueless, the people of Nai Basti, who have been working in their shops since decades together. He said that we are of a strong view that the BJP wonât allow anybody to steal their basic resources. He said that the administration has to first create a policy to rehabilitate the persons before dislodging them from their present shops. He asked them to create space for kiosks or shops to create their earning sources at a suitable space so that their lives are not shattered economically.
