Nation cannot afford to let BJP retain power in 2024: Bhalla

JAMMU: Raman Bhalla, the working president of the Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC), has expressed the party's strong opposition, saying that the country cannot afford to allow it to continue in power through the 2024 elections. Speaking to the audience at Raipur Satwari, Bhalla charged that the government, led by the BJP, was forcing an illiberal and monolithic socio-political order on the populace because it was motivated by special interests. He called the policies of the Government "disastrous" and a "attack on the Constitution" and criticised them. Bhalla drew attention to the unrest that the BJP has caused in Jammu and Kashmir, where he claims that criticising government policy is met with allegations of being anti-national. He drew attention to the BJP's anti-poor and anti-youth policies as well as its inability to keep its word.The head of the Congress stressed the need of uniting to combat the BJP and defend federalism, democracy, and constitutional values. He cautioned against the "limited vision" of the BJP, saying that if it were to regain power, it would take the nation closer to dictatorship and deny its citizens their democratic rights. Recalling the accomplishments of past prime ministers like as Indira Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Rajiv Gandhi, Bhalla charged that the present government had failed miserably on every front of policy. Bhalla urged BJP officials not to pit one sect against another in order to win votes, criticising attempts to combine politics and religion. The Working President of the JKPCC urged cooperation in the fight to depose the BJP and reinstate secularism and democracy. He asked voters to weigh the social growth and development record of the Congress when making decisions in the next elections.
