JAMMU: Senior BJP leader and former deputy minister Kavinder Gupta slammed the Congress poll manifesto today, labeling it a bundle of lies. He claimed that the party, which has ruled the country for several decades, has failed to fulfill any of the promises made in its previous manifestos for both the assembly and parliamentary elections.
In a statement issued here today, the BJP stalwart disparaged the Congress manifesto, stating that it was designed to create confusion and mislead voters. He highlighted the irony of the situation, pointing out that the Congress is seeking people’s mandate while promising to “do wonders” if voted back to power.
“After being in power for several decades, the Congress is now promising miraculous changes if given another chance. The fact that the Congress named its manifesto ‘Nyay Patra’ suggests a recognition of the injustice (‘Anyay’) it has caused during its 55-60 years of rule in the country,” he said .
Kavinder emphasized that the Congress has a record of not fulfilling its promises in previous manifestos, both at the Assembly and Lok Sabha levels.
Responding to the Congress’s promise to restore Jammu and Kashmir’s statehood in its manifesto, Kavinder criticized the move, likening it to “displacing dead issues” given the Supreme Court’s ruling last year in favor of scrapping Article 370.
The senior BJP leader stated that the Congress is deliberately misleading people. “It should also address the scams that took place during his rule, like looting billions of dollars from the state. People will not give it any importance. The BJP’s commendable work will overshadow the Congress’s attempts,” he added.
In a scathing attack on the Congress over the Beaufort scam during the Rajiv Gandhi government in 1986, Kavinder demanded accountability, asking the Congress to explain how, even after Rajiv Gandhi’s death, the Gandhi family and others were allegedly involved in fraudulent activities. He warned that such anti-national behavior would not be tolerated and the Congress would face the consequences after the Lok Sabha elections.
