Jammu, November 04, 2019 (PPI-OT): In occupied Kashmir, in what absolute embarrassment to the BJP-led Indian government, celebrating unilateral declaration of JandK into Union Territory, local BJP leaders are facing wrath of the people of Jammu over their failure to protect land and job rights for locals.
After August 5, BJP leaders had promised that land and jobs rights of the people of Jammu region would be protected when JandK would be formally declared as UT but nothing in this regard has been mentioned in the circular issued by the Indian government. Reports suggested that BJP leaders have been facing wrath of the people for not fulfilling promises made by them from time to time especially after abrogation of Article 370 on August 5 in the Lok Sabha.
Although BJP leadership had organized various functions at different places of Jammu to celebrate the grant of UT status but people of Jammu have given a cold-shoulder response to the party because local BJP leaders have failed to protect peoples’ interest. Credible sources in the BJP said that instead of properly taking up Jammu’s issue with Central leadership, local party leadership was busy only in Pakistan and Congress bashing.
During the last three months, JandK BJP leadership was busy in cheap publicity but in reality the local leaders have done nothing concrete. Credible sources said that within two-days BJP leadership has realized that there was no celebration mood among people of Jammu because in official circular there is no provision of projecting job and land rights of the locals. Instead of joining BJP with celebrations if UT status, people of Jammu are rather charging local BJP leaders with bartering Jammu’s interests.
