Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir National Conference President and Member of Parliament Dr Farooq Abdullah on Sunday said Bharatiya Janata Party is facing unprecedented public resentment across J&K for its alleged anti people policies.
Interacting with the party functionaries at a function in Shahar-e-Khas in Srinagar on Sunday Farooq attacked BJP for its anti-poor, anti-middle class policies, a statement of NC said.
He said “the ruling dispensation has not been able to live up to its promises of providing employment to youth, handholding of artisans and much awaited relief to the poor and downtrodden sections of society”.
Referring to the delay in the elections, Farooq said, “BJP is shying away from elections as the clouds of worry have surrounded them”.
“Life and livelihood of those living on the edge of poverty is not changing for the better”, he said and added “amidst untamed inflation and unemployment, the withdrawal of food schemes only added to the daily woes of people”.
“How will BJP face people from whose plates it has snatched food? How can a government that has unleashed tax terrorism on people face them? Our middle class, BPL and other marginalized communities including Gujjars, and Paharis are particularly at the receiving end”, he added.
The former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir said, “National Conference is committed to uplift the poor and downtrodden sections of the society”, he said.
