Jammu, October 15:
Accusing administration of playing in the hands of BJP, Apni Party General Secretary Vikram Malhotra today expressed concern over the situation in Jammu in which the Government schemes are being implemented selectively through the cadre of BJP in violation of rules.
“The administration is helping the BJP and its cadre to implement Central Govt schemes in Jammu selectively in issuance of domicile certificates or Ansuman Bharat scheme in violation of set norms,” said Apni Party General Secretary Vikram Malhotra.
Issuing a statement to the press, Malhotra questioned the silence of the civil administration for their involvement in highly objectionable acts of facilitating a political party and ignoring other political parties.
“It shows how the administration provides unprecedented support to the BJP and this political party’s cadre collects Rs 50 per case in Anshuman Bharat Scheme. It is a glaring example of violation of all norms, and implementation of Govt schemes on the ground through the BJP cadre which is highly objectionable,” Malhotra said. He said that they will approach Lt Governor Manoj Sinha and seek action against the administration for their selective approach. The Divisional Commissioner, Jammu should immediately act against the officials,” said Malhotra.
Malhotra said that the Congress Party, National Conference and PDP are silent spectators and it is only the Apni Party which is highlighting issues of public concern in Jammu.
“They might have their agendas, but our vision is clear to support people and redress their grievances. However, the administration works on directions of BJP and they do not listen to anyone. There is alienation among the people and it should be addressed timely before it is too late,” said Malhotra.
Vikram Malhotra, Apni Party’s General Secretary said that the growing anger among people is especially in absence of an elected Govt and there is no one to listen to their concerns. When people approach the administration, he alleged the officials do not work without direction from BJP. “This administration has become a puppet in the hands of BJP and they are pleasing their bosses by annoying the public,” he alleged. “We will appeal to the Lt Governor Manoj Sinha and Divisional Commissioner, Jammu, Sanjeev Verma to personally intervene and direct administration at lower level not to act as ‘agents of BJP’,” said Vikram Malhotra. Meanwhile, Jagjeet Singh, Aman Raghuvanshi, Rahul Bhagat, Karan Dogra, Jay Thakur, Ashish, Deep Singh, Vikas Kumar, Rocky Kumar, Parvez, Abhay, Pawan, from Talab Tillo area of Jammu West.
