Samba, Oct 25: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) president Tariq Hameed Karra on Sunday said that Congress entered into pre poll alliance with National Conference (NC) for a larger cause to keep BJP out of power in J&K.
Addressing a gathering at Vijaypur in the honour of newly appointed chairman of JKPCC Vichar Vibagh Yash Pal Kundal, Karra alleged that Congress was aware of the electoral machinations and tactics of BJP, which came out open through a “compromised CEC”, so it entered into pre poll alliance against the feelings of party workers. “Congress has always sacrificed its party intrests in the larger intrests of nation as BJP’s policies are detrimental to the secular and pluralistic character of our country,” he asserted.
Karra alleged that several elections to state assemblies in the country post 2019 were “managed and rigged by the BJP through different modes and illegal tactics but people weren’t aware of this until Rahul Gandhi exposed it before the nation by deep investigations.” “Now every right thinking person is convinced about the highjacking of electoral system by the ruling BJP through misuse of election machinery and all such persons are protesting to save democracy,” JKPCC president claimed.
He alleged that BJP divided and downgraded the historical state into UT, which resulted into loot of land, jobs and natural resources through its crony capitalists.
“Congress has been fighting for restoration of statehood to secure the dignity, status, rights and identity of people of J&K but BJP’s legislators have compromised the interests of people of Jammu who elected them,” he further alleged.
Karra also felicitated Jung Bhadur Sharma for induction in Training department of J&K PCC.
JKPCC president appreciated Aadya Yashtri, the minor daughter of Kundal, who presented two books to PCC chief written by her. Karra said that it spoke of her guidance and intellect at a very young age.
JKPCC working president Raman Bhalla; ex MP Lal Singh; JKPCC chief spokesperson Ravinder Sharma; ex MLAs Indu Pawar, Durga Dass, Th Hari Singh Chib; district president Jammu rural Neeraj Kundan; president Samda Sanjeev Sharma besides several others also spoke on the occasion.
Raman Bhalla termed BJP as “power hungry party”, which he alleged, was “destroying the electoral system in the country in order to retain power.”
“The country-men have realised the tactics of BJP and will throw it out from power through elections and will not allow it to hijack democracy through CEC,” he maintained.
Lal Singh accused BJP of “destroying the Dogra identity and looting the resources of J&K and pushing the youth into drug addiction by wholesale opening of liquor shops in Jammu besides ignoring the illegal sale of drugs.”
He alleged that BJP insulted Maharaja Hari Singh by dividing and downgrading his state and depriving people of their legitimate rights to land, jobs and natural resources.
