JAMMU, May 25: Apni Party today voiced serious concern over the delay in the conduct of Panchayat and Urban Local Bodies (ULB) elections in Jammu and Kashmir, urging the authorities to hold these elections without any further delay.
The issue came up during a Provincial-level meeting held in Jammu today. The meeting chaired by party president Altaf Bukhari, focused on the review of prevailing political situation in Jammu and Kashmir besides other key public issues.
The party leaders and other functionaries briefed the party president and senior leadership about the political situation in their respective constituencies and highlighted a range of public concerns and local grievances. Several organisational issues were also discussed during the deliberations.
The party leaders criticised the elected government for what they described as its failure to address the pressing issues confronting the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
They said that the ruling party’s promises made during its election campaign have proved to be blatant lies. They said that the assurances such as providing 200 units of free electricity to every household, free cooking gas, an additional ration quota, one lakh jobs for youth, and regularisation of daily wagers, along with several other commitments, have all turned out to be unfulfilled promises.
The party leadership urged district-level leaders and senior workers to intensify their political and public outreach activities in order to remain closely connected with the masses in their respective areas. They also asked them to stay prepared for the forthcoming ULB and Panchayat elections.
The prominent party leaders who were present in the meeting included Vijay Bakaya, Manjit Singh, Shah Mohd Tantray, Saleem Alam, Arun Chhibber, Ajaz Kazmi, Balbir Singh, Bhagat Ram, Sahil Bharti, Abhay Bakaya, Raman Thapa, Harpreet Singh, Manzoor Bukhari, Vicky Sudan, Madan Lal Thakur, Pushap Dev Uppal and others.
