JAMMU, Sept 28: In a scathing attack on the Congress and National Conference (NC) for their long-standing betrayal of the Valmiki community, Arvind Mahajan, senior BJP leader and contesting candidate from the Jammu West Assembly Constituency, exposed the harsh reality of how these parties subjected the Valmiki community to decades of marginalization and deprivation in Jammu & Kashmir.
Speaking at a public gathering of Valmiki Samaj in Bakshi Nagar area here today, Arvind Mahajan fiercely criticized the step-motherly treatment that the Valmikis endured for over 60 years under the Congress-NC regimes. He underscored that despite being an integral part of J&K, Valmikis were denied the basic right to secure State Subjects, depriving them of Government jobs, admission to medical and engineering colleges, and any hope of a dignified future.
The senior BJP leader highlighted that it was only under the historic leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the bold decision to abrogate Article 370 that justice was finally served to the Valmiki community. “The BJP didn’t just promise change – we delivered it. By bringing J&K at par with the rest of the country, we ensured that the Valmikis are now treated as equals, with full rights to government jobs, and access to higher education, including prestigious medical and engineering courses,” he said.
Arvind emphasized that the visionary policies of PM Modi have ushered in an era of inclusive development for all marginalized communities in J&K. “Today, Valmiki children are no longer second-class citizens – they are achieving their dreams, securing their future, and contributing to the nation’s growth. This is the power of the BJP’s vision for New India, where every community stands strong and equal,” he added.
Calling upon the people of Jammu West to support him and BJP’s mission for a prosperous and united J&K, Arvind Mahajan urged voters to choose a party that stands for development, justice, and empowerment. The future of J&K is bright, but only if we continue to stand with BJP and its vision for progress,” he said passionately.
