BJP betrayed our people: Dr Farooq

Jammu, Sep 19: The President of Jammu and Kashmir National, Dr. Farooq Abdullah, has expressed concern over the surge in terrorist activities in the Jammu region during the BJP’s rule.
This he said while addressing a series of public meetings in Kathua and Vijaypur areas of Jammu province. Provincial President Rattan Lal Gupta was also present on the occasion.
“This disturbing trend has enveloped the once tranquil area in darkness, jeopardizing the safety and security of people. Even regions that were previously cleared of militancy are now being targeted with increasing frequency. Our valiant soldiers are making the ultimate sacrifice, while locals are forced to live in constant fear. The sense of security has been shattered, and the people are desperate for peace,” he said.
The NC-Congress alliance is dedicated to restoring the rights of the people of Jammu. “This includes giving them control over their minerals, contracts, jobs, and trade. Our goal is to ensure that the people of Jammu have priority when it comes to jobs and mineral resources, and that their culture is preserved. The BJP made grand promises, but they have failed to deliver on a single one. Where are the jobs they promised? Where is the investment they boasted about? Instead, Jammu is losing jobs and contracts to outsiders. Toll taxes on roads are burdening the poor, while the lack of electricity and water is adding to the struggles of our youth. Rising tariffs on electricity and water are hitting the poor hard, and ration cuts are pushing them to starvation. The BJP has betrayed our people and pushed them to the brink.”
He further added, “It is time for a change. The NC-Congress alliance is committed to fighting for the rights and well-being of the people of Jammu.”
