Jammu: A senior BJP leader today accused Congress and National Conference (NC) of "befooling" the people of Jammu for the past over six decades.

Member of National Executive of BJP and former state chief Nirmal Singh, who will contest from Gandhi Nagar Assembly constituency, today launched a scathing attack on Congress and NC saying they misled the people of Jammu for the past over sixty years.

Addressing a series of election rallies at Uttam Nagar and Channi Himmat areas of Jammu, Singh said that both the parties are trying to "hoodwink" the people with false promises and misleading slogans.

He said Congress has been trying to befool the people of Jammu in the name of development while no visible change has been seen on the ground.

He added that menace of unemployment has assumed alarming proportions but nothing tangible has been done in this regard during coalition regime of Congress and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and all the lists of government jobs had negligible percentage from Jammu region.
