BJP trying to disturb peace in Jammu for political gains: Gupta
Jammu : In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, senior National Conference leader, Rattan Lal Gupta, said the local BJP leadership is attempting to disturb the peaceful atmosphere of Jammu for narrow political gains by misleading people through unwarranted protests.
According to Kashmir Media Service, in a press statement in Jammu, Gupta said that the people of Jammu have traditionally valued peace, communal harmony and brotherhood, and any attempt to create unnecessary tension or division for political purposes must be strongly opposed. He further said that the BJP leadership has once again exposed its lack of confidence in its IIOJK leadership by not giving any significant responsibility to them in its new team.
“This clearly indicates that the central leadership does not consider the local BJP leaders competent enough to occupy important positions in the organisation,” he added.
Gupta asserted that the BJP is losing ground in Jammu because of its anti-people policies and failure to address the genuine concerns of the people. Instead of concentrating on unemployment, development, rising prices, infrastructure, tourism and other pressing issues, the BJP is trying to divert public attention through political rhetoric and confrontation. He questioned the role of the BJP during the period from 2014 to 2024, saying that its conduct and policies towards Jammu and Kashmir raised serious questions about its commitment to the interests of the people. He said that the people are now carefully assessing the promises made by the BJP against its actual performance.
