Congress converting J-K into another Bihar: Gupta
Jammu, May 04: Blaming Congress for the problems in Jammu and Kashmir, Union Minister and BJP candidate from Udhampur Lok Sabha constituency Chaman Lal Gupta today said the party was converting the state into another Bihar by encouraging anti-social elements.
He alleged congress "bred fundamentalism" in Kashmir by encouraging organisations like Jamat-e-Islami and had "a marriage of convenience" with national conference which gave birth to terrorism and slogans of azadi, autonomy and jehad.
Gupta said Congress, knowing that it will be defeated in
the elections, was trying to make heroes out of anti-social
elements who were resorting to uncivilized behaviour and
trying to terrorise people.
Referring to the recent attack at Mansar, the BJP leader
questioned the state government why no action was taken
against those who beat and destroyed property of civilians and
inflicted serious injuries on policemen and escaped from
police station.
He said there were several incidents which showed that
congress campaigners were misusing government resources.
Gupta cautioned the people against congress and its
allies and appealed to them to save the state from becoming
another Bihar, where jungle raj prevailed and people in jail
contested elections.
He listed the achievements of the Vajpayee government in
the country, including Jammu and Kashmir, particularly
Udhampur.
