JAMMU, Dec 12: Alleging that National Conference has failed to come to the expectations of the masses in the State, Congress candidate from Jammu East, Vikram Malhotra today said that J&K has passed through the worst ever period during the last six years.
Malhotra said the situation arose because all the development agenda initiated by the Congress during its tenure in 2005 had to experience roadblocks created by the NC during present coalition regime. He said while in coalition also if Congress proposed something for betterment of the people, the NC disposed it and created hurdles.
Malhotra also blamed the PDP and the BJP for dividing the people on communal lines just for the sake of votes and hence spoiling the secular atmosphere of the State. Expressing hope of his getting elected, he said, “If I am elected, I will ensure that your bad days are gone. ‘Agar Vikram Malhotra jeet gaya to samajh lijye burre din jaane wale hai’, he told the voters during a campaign today.
Along with thousands of his supporters, the Congress candidate from Jammu East today toured several areas of the constituency including Mastgarh and Christian Colony and met the people from all walks of life. On the occasion Vikram addressed several corner meetings and appealed to masses to vote in his favour.
He urged the masses to give him a chance to serve Jammu East for the next six years so that real development could exist in the constituency which could lead it to achieve new heights.
