REASI: The INDIA alliance will win all the six Lok Sabha seats in the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, JKPCC working president Raman Bhalla said here on Friday. While addressing a public gathering in Reasi, Bhalla asked the party workers to gear up for the ensuing Lok Sabha elections. He said Congress believes in Hindu Muslim unity and religious brotherhood for peace and harmony in the country. He said that record unemployment in the last 45 years, price rise, murder of democracy in J&K apart from snatching statehood, rights to land and jobs, failure to regularise daily wagers and stopping of old age, widow pension and crushing rights of employees are all anti- people actions of BJP Government. Bhalla expressed confidence that the alliance will win all the six seats – two seats of Jammu region, three of Kashmir valley and one of Ladakh. Highlighting the significance of Jammu and Kashmir, he said, “Although J-K has six seats in Parliament and 90 in assembly, it is the most important State for its strategic and secular characters. “He said that Congress will emerge stronger enough to form the Government with likeminded parties, as no party will be able to form government without Congress which is only secular and democratic party in the country, fighting against dictatorship of Modi Government. The senior Congress leader said that people are fed up with anti- poor and anti- common people policies of the ruling party whose diversionary and divisive politics is exposed before people. Bhalla exhorted the party cadre to prepare for the upcoming elections. He said that BJP should tell what contribution it made in the independence of this country. He alleged that while the BJP did nothing on serious issues like inflation and unemployment during its 10-year tenure, it left no stone unturned in disturbing the communal harmony of the country. Taking a jibe at GST also, he said that taxes are being collected from the public for everything from salt and sugar to petrol and diesel, but the tax money collected is going into the pockets of capitalists. Prominent among those present on the occasion include JKPCC General Secretary Rajesh Sadhotra, Munshi Ram Salaria, Madan Dogra, Raj Kumar Verma, Mohan Singh, Anil Sadhotra, Gopal Pandit, Bashir, Raj Kumar Padha and others.
