Hindus became poor under BJP rule: Mehbooba Mufti

People’s Democratic Party chief Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the BJP and alleged that the party does not want to build a nation but only intends to make India a “BJP Rashtra”, adding that 26 crore people who were lifted above the poverty line during the UPA regime have been pushed back in the Below Poverty Line (BPL) category. The PDP chief alleged that the BJP considers Jammu and Kashmir its “laboratory” where it conducts “experiments”. She alleged that the Hindus have become poor under the BJP regime. “The BJP sold the entire country including Railways, airports, and banks. This is not nationalism. They only talk about Hindu-Muslim. During the UPA regime, 26 crore people were lifted above the Poverty Line, the BJP again pushed them back to BPL, are they all Muslims? Are only Muslims the victims of the drug menace in J-K?” she said.
