On completion of nine years of UPA Government, scores of BJP activists staged a protest in Dehradun on Thursday and also demanded from the Government to introduce effective measures for overcoming the problem of inflation across the country.
BJP activists gathered at Parade Ground based BJP Mahanagar office in Dehradun on Thursday and took out symbolic death procession of UPA. The activists also burnt the effigy of UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
They lamented that rampant corruption has become a backbone in the UPA-II and the Union Government is completely fail to take effective steps to control the corruption in the country. The activists lamented that the prices of essential commodities have been increasing in the country and it has turned extremely difficult for a common man to survive.
The party activists cornered UPA-II over skyrocketing inflation, corruption, poverty and unemployment as major problems in the country and urged people to vote out the Congress Party in coming elections. According to them, Congress-led State Government as well as UPA saying that the Congress had been rocked by scams at every place.
Alleging the Congress of taking up the anti-people economic policies, activists said that farmers are not getting proper price for their crop, while price of the other commodities increasing day-by-day.
“There is no need for debate on whether law and order is good or bad, there is absolutely no law and order in the State,” lamented activists.
Addressing the gathering, Neelam Sehgal, BJP Mahanagar chairman, said that every district of the State is reeling under the acute shortage of potable water and electricity. She also expressed her concern over the deteriorating law and order situation in the State.
After expressing her concern over the callous approach of the Congress-led State Government for not introducing beneficiary schemes for the residents of the State, Sehgal said that beneficiary decisions taken during BJP regime were quashed by the State Government and the Government is busy taking anti-people policies.
According to her, restricting the quota of food grains at ration shops by the Union Government is a matter of concern. The activists threatened to intensify their agitation in the near future, if their demands were not met by the Government in the given time frame.
