Hours after Omar Abdullah's cabinet passed a resolution for restoration of statehood for Jammu and Kashmir, BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh dubbed the move as eyewash and said that the National Conference was mere playing to the gallery by resorting to such tactics.
Talking to IANS, Tarun Chugh said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah had already promised statehood to Jammu and Kashmir.
J&K CM Omar Abdullah, addressing the first cabinet meeting on Thursday, passed a resolution and appealed to the Centre for restoring the statehood of the Union Territory.
Tarun Chugh further said that "PM Modi has already promised to bring statehood to the Union Territory. Whatever PM Modi promises, he fulfils it. PM Modi has fulfilled all promises till now. Be it restoring peace, development, trust, or holding elections on time. Not a single promise is left. Our government is committed to restoring statehood in the J&K.".
He also pointed his guns at the Chief Minister, saying that he politicised every matter.
The Bharatiya Janata Party leader also fired sharp critique at former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for growing pollution in the national capital.
Kejriwal has been in power for ten years now, but even today he is raising questions on the Centre. It is a time to give a report, not to raise questions. I want to ask him what he has done in the last ten years. You only used rhetoric, and blamed others for your mistakes. He had not done anything for the people of Delhi," he stated.
He further criticized the working of smog towers in the national capital.
"Smog towers are installed but they are not in function. When he was released from jail, the AAP leaders burst crackers. But, when common people burst crackers on Diwali, they start seeing pollution. He was going to send the solution to Punjab to decrease the pollution.". Till date, neither any solution has reached there nor the government is trying to stop the pollution. He used to say that he would go to take a bath in clean Yamuna, when will that day come? Ten years have already passed, he remarked.
