BJP MLAs’ Hypocrisy Exposed: Silent for 11 Years, Now Playing the Blame Game
Political Posturing or Genuine Concern?

JAMMU :In a surprising turn of events, BJP MLAs in Jammu & Kashmir have begun publicly criticizing their own government’s failures over the past 11 years. From education and healthcare to unemployment and budget cuts, these legislators are now voicing concerns that were long ignored. But their sudden outcry raises serious questions:
• Why did they remain silent for over a decade while these crises unfolded?
• Why didn’t they protest when the central government slashed ₹6.5 lakh crore from Jammu & Kashmir’s budget?
• Are they genuinely concerned, or is this just an poltical stunt?
The pattern is clear: BJP MLAs are attempting to distance themselves from the failures of their own party, knowing that public anger is at an all-time high. However, their past inaction and silence on key issues expose their political opportunism.
₹6.5 Lakh Crore Budget Cut: The Silent Betrayal
One of the biggest blows to Jammu & Kashmir’s economy came when the central government reduced its budget by a staggering ₹6.5 lakh crore. This move crippled the region’s economy, halted development projects, and left essential public services in crisis.
Impact of the Budget Cut:
1. Infrastructure Stalled:
• Roads, bridges, and water projects were either delayed or abandoned.
• Public transportation improvements were put on hold.
• Power and electricity projects suffered due to lack of funding.
2. Education Sector Collapsed:
• Schools and colleges struggled to pay teachers, many of whom were left unpaid.
• New teacher recruitments were halted due to lack of funds.
• School infrastructure deteriorated, forcing students to study in poor conditions.
3. Unemployment Skyrocketed:
• Government hiring stopped, leaving thousands of young graduates jobless.
• Private sector investment dried up due to uncertainty and lack of incentives.
• Recruitment scams, paper leaks, and fraudulent hiring processes further worsened the situation.
4. Healthcare System in Crisis:
• Government hospitals ran out of medicines and basic medical supplies.
• A severe shortage of doctors and paramedical staff led to a healthcare collapse.
• Rural healthcare centers were shut down due to lack of funding.
Where Were BJP MLAs When This Happened?
Despite the devastating impact of the budget cut, BJP MLAs remained completely silent. Not a single BJP leader in Jammu & Kashmir protested against this decision. There were no press conferences, no letters to the central government, and no mass resignations in protest.
Instead, these MLAs continued to defend their government, assuring the people that “development was on track.” Now, after 11 years of failures, they are suddenly acting as if they are on the side of the people.
Education in Crisis: A Decade of Neglect
Jammu & Kashmir’s education sector has been in decline for years, yet BJP MLAs never addressed these problems until now.
Major Issues in the Education System:
• Teacher Shortages: Thousands of teaching positions remain vacant across government schools.
• Infrastructure Deficiency: Many schools lack proper classrooms, desks, and even basic sanitation.
• Budget Cuts: The recent reduction in funding has further crippled the education system.
• Recruitment Scams: Several teacher recruitment processes were marred by corruption and irregularities.
Despite these glaring issues, BJP MLAs never raised their voices. Now, they are suddenly expressing concern over teacher shortages. The question is: why now?
The Unemployment Disaster: False Promises & Real Suffering
Jammu & Kashmir is facing an unemployment crisis, with joblessness at an all-time high. The BJP government repeatedly promised job creation, yet no substantial efforts were made to tackle the issue.
Current Employment Situation:
• Government Jobs: Most recruitment drives were either delayed, canceled, or marred by paper leaks and corruption.
• Private Sector: No major industrial investment has been made, leaving limited job opportunities.
• Skill Development Schemes: Programs like “Skill India” and “Make in India” failed to benefit J&K’s youth.
The worst part? BJP MLAs stayed silent while employment opportunities disappeared. Now, they are pretending to care, knowing that angry, unemployed youth could vote against them.
Betrayal of Farmers: Empty Promises, No Relief
Jammu & Kashmir’s farmers have been struggling for years, yet the BJP government failed to provide any meaningful support.
Key Issues Farmers Face:
• No Minimum Support Price (MSP): Farmers are forced to sell their produce at extremely low prices.
• No Compensation for Losses: Natural disasters frequently destroy crops, yet the government provides no relief.
• Lack of Agricultural Reforms: No new policies have been introduced to modernize farming.
BJP MLAs had 11 years to bring real change for farmers. Instead, they ignored their struggles and focused on political gains.
Healthcare in Ruins: When Leaders Seek Treatment Outside, What About the Common People?
Jammu & Kashmir’s healthcare system has completely collapsed under BJP rule. Government hospitals are severely underfunded, understaffed, and ill-equipped.
Major Healthcare Failures:
• Shortage of Doctors & Nurses: Many hospitals operate with minimal staff.
• Lack of Medicines: Even basic medicines are unavailable in rural hospitals.
• Deteriorating Infrastructure: Hospitals lack essential medical equipment and proper facilities.
Ironically, BJP leaders themselves never use these hospitals. They seek treatment in Delhi or abroad while ordinary people suffer. Their hypocrisy is evident.
Key Questions for BJP MLAs:
BJP MLAs now act as if they care about the people, but they must answer these questions:
1. Why didn’t they oppose the ₹6.5 lakh crore budget cut?
2. Why did they remain silent when schools were collapsing?
3. Why didn’t they protest against rising unemployment and job scams?
4. Why didn’t they fight for farmers’ rights and better policies?
5. Why did they ignore the healthcare crisis while seeking treatment outside J&K?
The People Will Not Be Fooled Again
BJP MLAs have spent 11 years ignoring the suffering of Jammu & Kashmir’s people. Their recent outcry against their own government’s failures is nothing but a desperate attempt to save their political careers.
• They failed to protest budget cuts.
• They ignored the education and employment crises.
• They betrayed farmers and neglected healthcare.
• They watched silently as corruption flourished.
The people of Jammu & Kashmir have suffered enough. They will not fall for these tricks again. The time for accountability has come, and BJP MLAs will have to answer for their long silence and betrayal.
