JAMMU: Rattan Lal Gupta, Provincial President of Jammu & Kashmir National Conference (JKNC), strongly countered the statement made by BJP leader seeking the resignation of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah. He termed BJP leader’s remarks as baseless and an attempt to divert attention from the BJP’s decade-long failures in Jammu & Kashmir.
In a press statement issued here today, the senior NC leader reminded the BJP leader that the National Conference Government has just assumed office, inheriting a legacy of mismanagement and underdevelopment left behind by the BJP-led administration, which ruled Jammu & Kashmir for the past ten years. “The BJP Government miserably failed to create basic infrastructure in the Union Territory. Despite being in power at the Centre and in J&K for a decade, no substantial efforts were made to strengthen the power and water supply systems. Their neglect has left the people of Jammu & Kashmir grappling with frequent power cuts and water crises,” he said.
Rattan Gupta asserted that the National Conference stands firm on its commitment to deliver 200 free power units to the people of Jammu & Kashmir. “Unlike the BJP, which indulged in empty rhetoric, the NC Government under the dynamic leadership of Omar Abdullah is dedicated to fulfilling its promises. The NC Govt is already working to ensure uninterrupted power supply and equitable access to clean water,” he stated.
The Provincial President further lambasted the BJP for attempting to undermine the NC’s progressive initiatives. “BJP leader’s claim that the 200 free power units are an eyewash is laughable. The BJP, which failed to address the most basic needs of the people during its decade in power, has no moral authority to lecture us on governance,” he said.
Criticizing another BJP leader’s remarks about the NC’s promise of creating 1 lakh jobs for the youth, he questioned the BJP’s track record on employment. “How many jobs were created during the BJP’s tenure? The youth of Jammu & Kashmir became victims of rampant recruitment scams under BJP rule. In stark contrast, the NC Government is determined to provide 1 lakh jobs to the youth of J&K, ensuring transparency and fairness in the process,” which is started, he added.
The Provincial President reiterated the National Conference’s resolve to bring tangible development to Jammu & Kashmir and improve the lives of its citizens. “We will not be distracted by the BJP’s baseless allegations. Under the leadership of Omar Abdullah, the NC Government is committed to ushering in a new era of progress and prosperity for Jammu & Kashmir,” he affirmed.
