Poonch/Rajouri, September 8 (KNS): Leader of Opposition in the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly Sunil Sharma on Tuesday said the BJP would continue to fight for people's rights and expose the alleged failures and "misgovernance" of the National Conference-led government.

Sharma was addressing people during a mass public outreach programme, 'Jan Samvad', organised by the BJP in Poonch and Rajouri.

He was accompanied by senior party leader and former MLC Vibodh Gupta, District Presidents S Gurdeep Singh Khalsa and Dev Raj Sharma, former MLC Pardeep Sharma and other senior party functionaries.

During the programme, the BJP delegation met several public delegations and sought feedback on issues related to development, basic amenities, employment and welfare.

Sharma alleged that there was a "widening gap" between the promises made by the National Conference before the elections and its performance after coming to power.

"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?" he said.

He alleged that the government had failed to provide effective and accountable governance and said the BJP would raise people's grievances at every appropriate forum.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel

"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," Sharma said.

He said the grievances raised during the outreach programme showed that people were 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," he said.

Sharma said the 'Jan Samvad' programme would be expanded across Jammu and Kashmir, with senior BJP leaders visiting different districts to highlight issues raised by the public.

"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," he said.(KNS)
