BJP Govt trying to provoke public after establishment of new Toll Plazas: SRS
13/10/2019
JAMMU, OCT 13: Shri Ram Sena today strongly condemned setting up of new Toll Plazas in Samba and Kathua districts. In a press note issued here, Shri Ram Sena J&K State President Rajiv Mahajan said that with the establishment of these two toll plazas people will face lot of trouble after they will start functioning by charging hefty amount from the private vehicles. Mahajan warned the National Highway Authority and Central Government that if the Toll Plaza decision was not revoked soon, they will be forced to come on roads and launch the agitation against the authorities. Mahajan further said that there are already two toll plazas in Jammu, although the National Highway has not been fully constructed and the Government is charging the toll tax from the vehicles to which the Sena is strongly opposed to. In an appeal to Governor, Mahajan sought his immediate intervention in the matter.
Mahajan reminded BJP that it had opposed construction of same toll plaza on Jammu-Pathankot highway and had launched movement against then Government compelling them to leave their project halfway. He said that it is unfortunate that same BJP is silent when they have Govt at the centre and putting burden on the poor people, traders, transporters and tourists coming to Jammu and Kashmir from outside the States. He said that the people are angry because they will suffer financially whenever they have to travel by highway to their respective destinations.
Mahajan slammed BJP J&K State President Ravinder Raina for befooling people of state over installation of Toll Plazas and maintained that people are badly fed up with BJP's rhetoric's and that Jammuites will teach them a deserving lesson in future elections. He termed his letter to Gadkari mere eyewash and time killing process as they should have protested the same on the road if they claim to be real champions of Jammu cause. The distance between these toll plazas is in violation of the prescribed distance limit. They are at a far shorter distance inter-se than permissible. Mahajan demanded Scrapping of the new toll plaza keeping in view the "present security and political turbulence in the state.
