Poonch/Rajouri, Sept 08 (KNO): BJP leader and Leader of Opposition in the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly, Sunil Sharma, on Tuesday said the party will fight for people’s rights and expose the alleged failures of the National Conference-led government during a public outreach programme in Poonch and Rajouri.
In a statement issued to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), a spokesperson said the BJP delegation interacted with several public delegations, listened to their grievances and took detailed feedback on issues confronting the people, particularly development, basic public services, employment and welfare.
He said Sharma described the programme as the beginning of an extensive grassroots campaign by the BJP to expose the widening gap between the NC’s pre-election promises and its performance in government.
“The NC came to power making big promises to the people, but today the public is asking where is the promised development, where are the jobs and where is the relief in their day-to-day problems? The growing public dissatisfaction is a direct reflection of the government’s failure to deliver,” Sunil Sharma said.
He said the NC government had failed to provide effective, accountable and responsive governance instead of addressing people’s genuine concerns.
“The BJP will not allow the government to hide its failures behind political rhetoric. We will go to every district, every constituency and every section of society, listen to the people and bring their issues before the government and the people of Jammu and Kashmir,” he asserted.
Sunil Sharma said the grievances raised in Poonch and Rajouri clearly demonstrate that people are increasingly questioning the functioning and priorities of the NC government.
“The BJP is not sitting in offices and making political statements. Our leaders and workers are reaching the people, hearing them directly and standing with them in their hour of need. The people’s voice will become the BJP’s strongest weapon against NC’s misgovernance,” he said.
He further announced that the public outreach would be expanded across Jammu and Kashmir, with senior BJP leaders undertaking visits to different administrative districts to highlight the government’s failures and ensure that genuine public issues are raised at every appropriate forum.
“The people of Jammu and Kashmir deserve performance, accountability and development—not excuses and empty promises. The BJP will remain the strongest voice of the people and will continue to hold the NC government accountable,” Sunil Sharma said.
The spokesperson said LoP Sunil Sharma was accompanied by senior leader Adv. Vibodh Gupta, District Presidents S. Gurdeep Singh Khalsa and Dev Raj Sharma, former MLC Pardeep Sharma and other senior BJP functionaries.—(KNO)
